AEM brake pads??

well i'm going to do the caliper swap and i'm getting new pads, i know about axxis, EBC, satisfied and all that, but no one has said anything about the AEM/nissin pads (nissin is the original JDM pad maker for honda) has anyone ever tired them they have some graphs on their site and , here are some of the specs, they are made of kevelar cermanic material, Key Features:
Guaranteed to outperform O.E. pads and fit perfectly every time. Work with O.E. brake systems and are ideal for AEM Big Rotor Brake Systems. Non-ferrous metal compound is non-corrosive, won't deteriorate brake components. Light colored dust does not show on wheels. Low squeal properties. here are some of the graphs they provide, i woudl like everyoines opinion, becaue i'm leaning twords these, i have had cars with the satisfied, and i don't want the axxis because of the dust, and from everyone i know ebc does not last long, anyway here they are:

I thought that they quit making them. I had them on my '92 vigor and a '99 TL. Works great. Minimal dusting and improved stopping distance over stock.

However, you will have to grind a little tab/nub on the back of the rear pads so it will fit into the brake cylinder. It lasted probably about 50K miles.

We switched to Akebono ProAct. I think a little better construction than AEM. Very quiet but the brake dust is a little bit darker. AEM is grayish while Akebono is pretty black.
