OK then I think these are for me! I mainly engine brake / down shift - maybe I have been conditioned due to learning on MT and seemingly constant suspension / brake / tire / rim issues causing steering wheel vibrations. For me brakes are for emergencies and stopping at red lights / stop signs around town
Some people are brake happy. They shall remain nameless but you know who they are.
Is the StopTech Z17 similar to the Akebono Ceramic pad? How does the bite nd dust characteristic compare?

Good choice for daily driver who does not think they are on a race track.
