114$ for a set of brake pads for SQ8?! I'm afraid you are getting what you are paying for.

When I went to the site last week it showed the rear as "not it stock" So I went to the site today and it showed 1 available. Order placed.

update - 8 days of commuting including a round trip from Houston to DFW and back at velocity yields this scant amount of front brake dust to the touch:

Found this thread as I was considering the Dynamic Friction 5000's for my '22 SQ7 (wrong forum, I know!). For those that used these... did you swap rotors as well? Did you just do a pad slap? I have 33k miles and all 4 corners need pads, but rather than drop $2500 on OE pads and rotors, I'm considering just doing a pad slap with these dynamic friction pads and seeing if I can squeeze some more life out of the rotors.

Alternatively, I was considering just doing the dynamic friction rotors at the same time... they're reasonably priced (OE rotors are $700 a piece).

Thoughts?

I just did the pads. The rotors were mic'd within tolerances and without any grooving.

Got it thanks. I would normally do pads and rotors together, but with the insane cost of OE rotors, I'm debating between 1. pads only (I guess I'll have to pull the rotors first and mic them), 2. pads + OE rotors, 3. pads + dynamic friction rotors.

33k miles unless you were doing AutoX your rotors should be good for another set of pads. You can use a measuring caliper to ensure the thickness is within spec

OK thanks. These pads are so inexpensive, I might just give that a go.

Did you get them installed?
