Thanks for writing. I'll let you know how my new parts fare.I've put on just over 7k miles. Loving the conversion. No pulsating whatsoever. So far, well worth the investment. About 300 miles ago, I ditched the PowerStop front pads and put on Akebono. The PowerStops had about 19k miles. I just never liked them. Always felt like there were chucks of metal in the one pad, and scrapes on the rotor confirmed that. Akebonos feel great. Went on a easy-ish downhill offroad trip Saturday (Schnebly HIll Rd, AZ), and everything worked like a champ!
