I have used Pagids & have found them to work well...I prefer Jurids though...
Imagine having UFO's up front and squeezing a fresh set of new pads on the inside of the UFO...Talk about a tight fit- there is about the thickness of 3 sheets of paper of budge room on the inside of the rotor, maybe a scosh more! But like everything else the more you do it, the easier it becomes...
Anyone ever try those dust shields on the front rotors? Let me know of your experiences if you have used them.

I have PBR, they seem fine on the audi rear, but make a bunch of dust and noise on my BMW's front
I assume the audi's rear just doesnt get used to the extent of the front brakes, but they are by far the most brake dust making pads i've EVER used on my BMW. I've tried 2 times with the shims and pad back squeel stop stuff and the BMW's front just like to squeel. So if you like the 'clean and quiet' look you'll be washing a lot if you put them on the front. For the rear i've had no issues. I will buy jurids next time, i think they are BMW OEM, and thats what i had on that car last and they worked well.
