I don't find much difference between them and the 4 pots I had on my last car - the previous 4 pots had Goodridge lines, Motul 5.1 flui and Pagid RS 4.2.1 pads so were not standard. This car has no ABS which probably helps and also is lighter - and it has Brembo discs and Mintex pads, without Goodridge lines and Fluid upgrade. Also, they seem to fade less than my 4 pots did, even after the pad upgrade.
