i am not impressed with their performance and weighing the benefits of the reduced brake dust.

it’s interesting that many say they feel compiler to stock. i am having a completely different experience. i believe there are a couple other forum members feeling the same as me but majority think they are fine.

i will probably switch out the 2000’s

Did you end up switching out to the 2000’s? I am having the same experience as you. Much less grabbiness and a lot more brake pedal effort required until the real stopping power comes in, compared to stock. iSweep recommends against traditional bedding methods and recommends regular driving for the first few hundred miles. I did not know that at first and did a traditional bedding procedure, which actually reduced performance and glazed the pads a bit (ended up having to lightly sand the pad surfaces to “reset” them). Now they’re just back to where they were when I first installed.

I have no experience with 1500's, but Ive had 2000's twice now. I had them in my G80 M3 and now in my G87 M2.

Of course they are going to feel a little different since they are a different compound. And while I have not done a legit brake test on stopping distance. I feel the 2000's stop just as good as stock. Ive had to slam the brakes a few times on the highway because of traffic and they stopped just fine for me.

The dust reduction is hands down worth it to me. I can go a week without my wheels looking dusty. And what dust they do produce hides well on black wheels. No brown wheels here. No squeeks.

I will say this though. My 2nd set of 2000's made a pad slap noise moving from a dead stop for a few weeks. They would clunk in the caliper when I would get going from a dead stop. I had my shop look into it and regreasing them seems to have stopped that.

Im happy with my purchase. The dust and squeeling alone was my biggest grip with OEM pads.
