Kevin;

I installed a set of these last weekend along with fresh brake fluid.  
Given that my pads were almost not there and the brake fluid was pretty 
nasty anything is a big improvement.  They do stop very, very well.  
Very firm and controlled.  I expected that with the slots and 
semi-metallic pads they might be somewhat harsh and maybe a little 
noisy but they are not.

20% is a tough figure to verify without being able to compare a like 
new stock set up against the powerslots on identical vans.

If the pads and rotors last well I'd do it again.
