yeah but they still suck, they are hard to work on, not as good at stopping, UGLY, and you know they could afford to give people the option of some rear ones!

maybe everyone that thinks the Brakes suck needs to do a fluid flush, and better pads & rotors....I know a certain 97 SSEi that can slow down from 120+ w/o any problems, and w/o fading over and over again

And ....ENSURE THE BACK BRAKES ARE ADJUSTED
Stopping a little aggresively in reverse from time to time will keep them adjusted once they have been brought up to speed.

i must have really bad pads because if i do a hard stop from about 100 to 0 or even like 70 to 0...there is this BAD, TERRIBLE, GOD-AWFUL BURNING smell coming from my brakes...omg, it smells like my tires on on fire but i know its my brakes...i guess im doing ceramic next time...its making my wheels look pretty bad too.
