You can come over and try 'em yourself!
My dog likes to leave Baby Ruth candy bars all over the backyard, too. It's a veritable smorgasbord of treats.

If your dog dump like that, probably have constipation

They are noisy when cold though. I've scared more than a handful of old ladies are crosswalks while slowing to a stop lol. But once warm they don't really make noise, and they feel great at high temps.

Superstreet type S pads.

Huh SS S-Sport shouldn’t be making that much noise. Are you sure it’s S-sports? Not MX series or Type-R?

Her will was finalized years ago, and we all know that plan, so who gets what shouldn't be an issue, but you never know. People get weird when that stuff actually happens.

Yep, I went through that a few years ago, when my father passed (my mother had already passed). I'm the oldest of four children my parents had.

After my father passed, although he had a will, my two younger brothers and younger sister got into a big hassle on who got what. They tried to get me to take sides. I declined to get into it and simply said that ya'll fight it out and if there is anything left over that's my share, send it to me.

I went with Project Mu since it was easier to find out which pads were their least dusty ones. LOL. They cost more than the various Endless pads I saw for the GRY. So hopefully they're worth it.

I'm also attaching what the wheels look like after just 4.5 miles of driving after I washed the car (car sat for over 24 hours before being driven). It's much worse in person than the pic seems.

yep S-sports.

It's possible I need to try re-bedding them. But really only happens for the first few miles, maybe 10-15 minutes of driving. Once warm, no noise at all.

if it ain't worth talking about when they're alive, there shouldn't be any reason to argue about it when they're not!

reminds me, my grandma said i'll be getting the other half of the dresser set she's using(i've already got one part of it), whenever she passes. i should probably check that it's written down somewhere. though i don't have a big need/space for it, it was a matching set...

i've got so many uncles/aunts that by the time i realistically expect to get anything out of anyone's will, i'll be well set and close to retiring myself, which is ironic considering the money would've helped the most the past 10 years when i've got all the significant expenses of getting started on my own.

I thought my buddy had S-Sports… maybe he had other SS series (maybe Y-Sports).

I drove it & tested the braking, which I really enjoyed… just didn’t enjoy the price tag back then. Not sure how expensive it is now. Pass few yrs, they made M-Sports Plus which suppose to be better than S-Sports in initial bite, but less dust. You might want to look into it.

Reminds me of the amount of dust my Endless MX72 pads had. However those felt great when up to temp and getting on them hard. Worth the dust at those times, but not a great choice because they generated a lot just commuting/DD.

Yet it doesn't always. Sometimes it's BOGO half off, which drives me nuts.
