CopperTop brakepads - Anyone?

[KatDiesel]

Well I won a set of brake pads at May Madness. I remember reading an article a while back in TDR about them. I searched on DTR with no response. I searched on TDR and found 2 responses, one positive and one negative. I have 45,000 miles on my stock brakes and will change them to these soon. I was just curious if anyone else has ran them? I figure they were free give'em a shot. Anyone got anything to say?
