Bought them as an m performance retrofit kit that was made for an F15 (dust shields, f/r calipers, rear caliper carriers, pads, rotors, and replacement hardware for it all - part# 34112348054)
Pedal feels great but hard to do a straight comparison since I replaced all the rubber brake lines with stainless steel lines along with the new brakes, so can't really tell how much improvement came from each but it feels much better over stock.
Everything is silent without any grease / brake quiet being used, and the amount of initial bite before bedding-in was impressive. Once I bedded-in everything was super smooth, very happy with the results.
I used stoptech's bedding-in procedure -
