I would not use them. They have too many catalog problems and most parts are swiss cheesed to fit as many applications as possable. Durastops usualy does not have any second design updates to the OEM parts and the friction material has not been tested with the OEM rotrs for durability. It is usualy dealers that push Durastop products.

If you are useing OEM rotors I would just stick with semi-metalic pads from any large company like Raybestos or Bendix.... I can not see paying a premium for "Dura-Stop" when the benifits are not truely tested. If the vechile is fairly new OEM is the best way to go. If their have been any redesigns the aftermarket might not have them yet. If you want performance pads go to a company that only makes performance pads and be prepared for more noise and less rotor durability with the more agressive pads. P.S. I have had good results with NAPA and CAR QUEST Semi-Matalic pads. The best compantion for longterm durability is after market rotors with OEM pads.
