GREAT improvement!!! It makes my car look like its clean all the time now...
I never had to lock-up the OEM brakes and I haven't had to lock-up the replacements so as far as I can tell in ordinary day-to-day driving, the replacements feel exactly the same.

just got them done and am pretty satisfied with them. I did notice they are not as grippy as before but i usually don't tailgate so i'm not too worried about needing the performance brakes. I didn't know that my rotors could be resurfaced as well with the TSIB. Is that really true.

Just got my car back from the 5k service, changed front brake pad, resurfaced the rotors, and added nitrogen. Brake performance - pretty much the same as before. 
BUT LESS DUST!! 
The pads need to wait about 300 miles for the brake "break-in" period, it could perform better I guess!

I'll have the TSB done next month when I go in for my 5,000 mile service (1,000 miles early but two weeks too late). Every Friday I visit the car wash a couple blocks from the office. By the time I get home (3 miles of stop and go and 15 minutes later), the brake dust is noticeable. This madness has to stop!!

Bushwack....I'm at 3k right now....going to do the same thing at 5k..called my dealer the other day about the brakes...they'll do it...2hr job....no loaner. So I'll have my oil done w/the new brakes..hopefully will get a loaner.
At 5k....do the rotors have to be adjusted?
