PFC-CARBON-METALLIC Brake Pads

Is there anyone with these that can give first hand info about them. I do now that they are supposed to have a better pedal feel and less fading.

dusting , better or worse than semi metallic?

What about the "bite", i really don't want a pad that grabs too quickly. theres lots of stop and go traffic here.

anything else you want t throw in related to the topic

i have them on my cavy, recently installed. they dont "grab" and make you jerk you car, but have extreemly confident braking imo.

if your pad is biting to quickly, then you're too hard on the pedal

I have these pads, they do ok. Probably about the same as the hawk hps pads I had prior to them. These don't have the initial bite of the hawks, as for brake dust..about the same as any other pad I've used.

They are ok, you can feel them fade after a few hard stops but that's mainly due to the small rotors anyways. They work for the price...

I just got a set for mine. My old Ceramic's were cracked about to fall apart, as well as cracks all over the old rotors after a year. I guess I'm hard on my brakes, or they just suck. I dont think mine are broken in all the way yet, put them on before a long road trip, but have been pretty good for me so far. They dont feel as firm as the Ceramics did in terms of grip, but soft, and not jerky say the least. Maybe they arent fully broken in yet, as said before. Also using normal Duralast Rotors too. Anyone know how these would hold up on a slotted rotor?

They hold up very well in stop and go traffic, which is what I drive in every day. I have yet to notice any fade, and i drive pretty aggressively.

Dust is about the same as oem pads.

They are also the longest-lasting brake pads I've used. I had to replace front pads 3 times in the first 2 years of owning my cav; that changed after I switched to PFC. The car didn't need a brake job for 5 years after that. After ten years, my car is only on its second set of PFC pads.
