Super strong stopping power with high torque pads. The calipers don't need any attention between rebuilds. With SRF, you bleed them once every 8-12 months.
Essex service is nice when you need rebuilds. I rebuild every couple years.
The biggest annoyance is that sometimes one pad will wear quicker than the others. Just need to keep an eye on them and maybe rotate. I believe this can be track dependent.
Also, on the 9668, don't use the spring clips for pad retention. Use the bolts and blocks. The pads wear REALLLLY uneven with the spring clips in my experience.
Some (SYT_Shadow) get pad tapering. I haven't seen that on my kits.

I don't know what constitutes aggressive taper, but these were my ds2500 rears with AP 9449. Gabe, what pads are you on? I'm now on ds1.11 all around
