In Defense of J55 Brakes

The only thing that you might even consider an issue is on the rare cases there is enough pad dust accumulated that gets wet from say driving in the rain, it can run out onto the wheel and dry out. It requires some extra effort to remove from the wheel but a very minor issue.

I used the same and no issues with noise or vibration. Used C5 brakes up front and stock in rear. Was a pain clearing my FM5's. If I were to do it again would have stayed with stock J55's as only time I get on a track is during our C4 gathering at BG. Other than that normal daily driver.
