what the.........?





am i safe to install these????

 

i would say yes, but wait for more educated people to chime in

unless that chip is going to cause the brake pad to be weak and maybe crack later, id think it would be ok. all you are losing is a little surface area

 

ur probably safe but id get a damn refund!

 

Wheres the shippin and handling?

 

anyone else?

 

It's not gonna hurt anything . The pad will eventually even out and be fine.

 

Yeah, thats how they box them...pretty shitty.
You should be fine to use them, its the structure of the matierial that would make them still viable.
Id make a complaint, however. You may get some reimbursement.

i'd def make a call...if that that weak w/ shipping who knows about the integrity under heat especially after already being compromised

 

super glue time.

 

i love the picture with the chip because just above it , the box says high performance brake pads... just thought it was funny. To the poster, should be fine but i would complain because what the hell is the reason for paying shipping and HANDLING???

 

brake pads like o2 sensors are not to be dropped. if you really want to use those pads, take them to get grinded. i forgot the actual term, but there is a machine that grinds down brake pads to make them even and flat... but you have to do this to all your pads...the pads should not be uneven, this will result in brakes that grab.

go for it...

 

They are a performance pad, constructed of a much harder and more brittle material than an average pad; so they are more likely to do something like this. They should be fine when installed. Give them a call if you're concerned to see what they say.

 

aem quality right there.....

 

Get them to send you a new set. Just for the h*ll of it.

 

i think youll be fine the first 1000 miles and it will wear down fine, i would aslo call aem and voice your concerns they might give you another set thats if you bought it straight from them

You think that's bad, take a look at mine



Yours is just a poorly bonded pad, and additional portions may start to crumble over time/use. I suggest you get a new set from AEM.

I would def try this first before using them. Its worth a shot.
