Theyre for cooling, not cutting

can you imagine how many sets of brake pads you'd go through?

I thought about the direction. They match the pictures from the website.

Thanks everyone. After a little more driving, seating the brakes I guess. The new brakes and hydro system are simply amazing. Stops as well as anything I've ever driven. Don't know that I ever activated the anti-lock with the vacuum setup. No problem now. I find myself pumping the brakes, habit I had from the vacuum setup, and they are the same feel every time. Something you'd have to drive to appreciate. Well worth the money and effort.

Got any documentation on the hydroboost swap. I have been thinking of doing this. I have different rotors and pads but the GM truck brakes SUCK.....
