Tracy,
It's a challenge to describe in a forum but here goes.
With the old pads and new (full) brake fluid while braking during 40mph in normal stoplight to stoplight driving, there seemed to be a very small window between 'light drag' and 'nose dive' stopping. Light drag meaning not enough stopping power and nose dive meaning the wife's left hand clamped on my right arm.
Finding the area so as to make a nice, safe, and smooth contolled stop was tough and frustrating to say the least.
Upon installation of new pads, the brakes noticibly grab with better clamping force earlier. Following imagery speaks volumes.
