Question Anyone tried Cobb Brake Pads?

Hi,
I currently have 30% of my stock brake pads left so im looking for some alternate brand besides brembo, considering they wanted to charge me something around 800$ for new ones.
I checked out Cobbs brake pacage #1 and it seems like a great deal...:

Has anyone tried this kit? or have it?
thanks!

The COBB kit is very similar to our Stoptech Stage 1 kit and will definitely be an improvement over stock with regards to pedal feel and responsiveness with a little increase in overall bite. If you are looking to reduce brake dust but maintain OE levels of bite, you should check this out too: Possible reasonably price street only pad

Thanks!
For that COBB stage 1 brake kit, it is cheaper for the stock brake pads, and if they stop as well as them i am happy. Less brake dust is not really that big of an issue to me... i'll just clean the wheels a little more often...
thanks, ill go with Cobb when i need brakes then...
And thanks for the link, i read that a while back when i was looking for alternate brake pads.
thanks

Aren't they just PBR ceramics in a Cobb box?
