Anyone used them?
I'm having a horrible time with some OEM Porsche pads and want to take them out.
Squealing will not go away, intermittent, but always comes back, all four wheels.

I had a new pair (of Jurids) put on the front when I installed new OEM rotors and I have to say they aren't working out that well for me. I developed a bad shudder when braking before I'd put 1,000 miles on these. To be fair it's possible that they weren't properly bedded-in. I had to have my new rotors lightly turned to remove some of the brake pad material that accumulated on the face of the discs, and kept the same (almost-new) Jurids on the front since they still had a lot of life left. One month later and the shudder has returned, not to mention a LOT of brake dust (perfectly clean rims turn black in less then a week). I am now ready to turf these pads, try turning my 1 yr old rotors once more, and I have purchased a new set of Texars to replace them with. If this doesn't solve the problem, I'll have to start from scratch again. Perhaps with new rotors but definitely will be trying Pagids the next time around per Pete's recommendation.

Stew... ditto--ditto-and -ditto.

What the heck is up with the Jurid pads??? I had the same EXACT experience with my setup... new OEM rotors with highly acclaimed Jurid pads... probably insufficient break in period...(who's got the time right?) ... shudder/mega-dust... turned ALL rotors... properly bedded... shudder ensued within a week... complementary dust x2.

I'm looking forward to pitching it all in the crapper and upgrading to ???????????? maybe Big Reds and (throw me a bone) pads. I just know I'm tired of the squeal/dust/shudder of the current set up. Really takes the fun out of driving.

Yep, similar story here. New OEM rotors and pads fitted about 500 miles ago and I still get annoying squealing at low speeds. As per Lonestar I'll be looking for replacement pads.

Well I was only shipped one box, so the Juhrid pads went on the back.
Stuck with Porsche pads on the front with new drilled Zimmermans.
Cross your fingers, bedded them, have put on a lot of miles, no squeals.
Its early but the RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick update.
Many more miles, I drive a lot.
Faint sound from rear Juhrids occasionally, only when barely moving.
Everything else fine, drilled going on the back when these pads are done.
Some dust, but not terrible.
No longer feel like I want to slash my wrists.
