RaybestosPGD50M Professional Grade Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set

These pads listed as, " Professional Grade", are anything but. Cheap obviously and poorly manufactured.In photo 2, you'll see the end of the inner pads where I had to index the metal to make them able to fit with their tension clips. Without indexing them, they'd only fit if I left the clips off. You want the clips on to provide tension on the pads and prevent them from floating around, often causing a clicking sound and possibly brake squeal.The first photo shows the huge gap on the outer pads that had to be pinched close so they wouldn't slop around and make noise as well. A small amount of pinch is not uncommon on these type pads, but I admit I've never seen what was nearly 1/4 inch of factory slop.If I had used these on the week that I bought them I'd have returned them. As it was, It has been several Months since I bought them.I fixed the pads so they'd work. But You can take Raybestos off my Christmas list.

Did not break in right. Pads glued on not riveted. Squeal loud enough to break your ear drums.

I specifically ordered the more expensive version of these pads for the extra cooling the holes would provide. What I got was a smooth surface with no holes. There is no way to tell if I got the more expensive version or not. It's stamped as the better ones, but there is no visual difference. I'm hoping that I got what I ordered. They work and went in easily.
