I changed my pad recently, and the improvement was amazing! Of course, I just put on the OE pads, and the difference was because I had been using an old set that were rutted and generally beaten to hell.

The lesson here is that you can't say 'the improvement was amazing' when you are comparing a worn out set to a new set of anything, even stock oem.

I would reccomend finding some tests in reputable magazines, or sticking with stock. Not to be a party-pooper, but the proof is in the science, not the seat of your pants
