The item came in excellent condition! Pads were good as new and even came with an EBC sticker and original box. I've fitted these pads, and I've been bedding them in for about 200+ miles, but they feel great, and I have faith in knowing that these are going to be an excellent daily brake pad to use! The fact they are low dust is something that is also great, as my alloys used to get so dirty within 3 days, so this compound is definitely for those with slower grocery getters who drive daily!
