Can you please be more specific? What didn't work out with them? What did the manufacturer say, they have great support.

How long were you running them? I know we have a different brake kit and we might be running different compound pads. I don't have any vibration issues, but mine only have about 20 miles on them. What did the manufacturer say about the cracks and vibrations? There are several people using them here that haven't had any issues at all.

Not long at all,
as to the validity of my complaint ,just go back in your records ,there shouldn’t be too many refunds for SL55 packages right ?

Would you mind as a favor to me, PMing them your name, just to give them an opportunity to answer yours and my questions.
