I haven't died yet.
The Bosch pads impressed me right out of the box. They came packaged with new pad slide clips, grease and wrapped in a shop towel that came in handy when putting everything together.
So far they have been on our 2004 Pontiac Vibe for 600mi and are performing well. After proper bedding in with new rotors, they grab very well and make no noise. The brake dust is also very minimal at this point.
Make sure you scrape down any corrosion where the slide clips mount. If there is too much buildup, they will be too close together and will not allow the pad to fit properly in the carrier.
Smooth brake pads when paired with new rotors. This is a nice kit to do the front two wheels on my 2007 Corolla. I paired these with the Raybestos rotors and the result is outstanding: solid, quiet, and wobble-free brake performance. I love that everything is included if you just want to change the pads. This kit has identical inner and outer pads, ie all four are the same. Just lube the parts of the pad that come in contact with the hardware (shims) and the piston, plus the pins that slide the caliper in/out. Easy peazy, especially after watching a few youtube videos.
No more squeaking brakes. I've never changed my brakes, but it's actually not a bad process. Jack the car, take off the tire, pop the old brake pads out and swap in these ones. Just make sure you put the vibration clip incorrectly. But they are working great and much cheaper than getting a shop to install.
I've had these on my Pontiac Vibe for 6 months now. I've put 12,000 miles on the car in that amount of time. The rotors were new when I replaced the pads and show minimal wear. The brakes themselves work great; quiet and stop the car quickly. Highly recommend these.

Description
Bosch Blue Disc Brake Pads were created for the everyday driver, and offers the same testing and engineering process as our premium braking line. Bosch Blue offers revolutionary engineering and advanced friction formulations for quiet and clean performance.
This is the most complete brake replacement kit i've ever used. For the price of just the pads alone, this also comes with brand new sliding bushing clips, a small packet of grease, and even a rag to clean things off after you're done. The brakes are standard OEM quality, but i'm really impressed with the attention to detail in the kit that Bosch put together. Fit perfectly on the Toyota corrola '06.
Don’t listen to the bad reviews. The brake pads come with a complimentary clean blue shop rag for two reasons...to clean with and help protect pads during shipping. The other bad review is because the person didn’t install them properly so they made noise. Great pads for the money.
Bosch brake pads solved the grabbing and noise problems. It is a full set at a very reasonable price. Perfect fit for Toyota Corolla 9th series. Corolla 2003-2008.
These are great! Toyota Matrix XR. THIS ITEM INCLUDES 4 PADS! This is for the whole front end. I bought two thinking it was a two pad set. The hardware is great. Comes with nice grease and a microfiber rag as well! Nice surprise, this is a complete kit for sure.
Puts these on my wife's 2005 Corolla 13 months ago and it's still got 80% of the pads remaining. Her commute to and from work is over 70 miles a day.
