If the Greens feel like they have less bite (less than what??) did you bed them properly?<ul><li><a href="http://www.purems.com/products/page.php?pageKey=10">http://www.purems.com/products/page.php?pageKey=10</a</li></ul>

Default Bite was very mediocre (especially as they aged and scored the crap out of the rotors)
They were fairly quiet and dust was very low, but I'm much happier with the PBR (Axxis) Ultimates that I have on now.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on them and if they start to score things I'll rip 'em off.

2nd. Anyone that thinks these have great bite hasn't driven the Blues.

Default Are you using the pad dampeners?
I don't and expect the noise from not using them as they are $$$$
