StopTech Street Performance - Poor Manufacturing Quality

[nrubenstein]

Has anyone else been having issues with the rear anti rattle clips falling out? I just replaced my set (would have switched to something else if I'd known that I would have to replace both ends), and on a brand new pad, the anti rattle clip fell off. I'd had issues with the previous pair, but they at least made it into the caliper the first time around. :p

Fortunately, I was able to pound the clip into the "outside" pad, but it was pretty irritating given that I was replacing the existing pair for the same freaking reason.

Also, is it just me, or is the StopTech dust extremely sticky? I find it *much* more difficult to clean off than, say, Hawk HP+ dust.

Yup same experience with me, I have stop tech rear pads on my wrx and hawk HP on the front and not only did I actually have to grind some of the pad backing to get it to fit, they also leave tons of dust. My rear rims get dirty twice as fast as the front do now.
