AEM brake pads

hey had anyone had or have the aem front brake pads for our
car if so can you tell the diif between the strock ones and the aem pads
i ordered the aem pads in hope of improving braking a little i mean im not expecting
it to seem like a big brake upgrade or anything i was just hoping i could get that little
crisper brake feeling any input would be helpfull?

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
from what ive read, the aem and the oem are almost the same. i know there are better brands for break pads but i cant remember them right now.

For me they felt a little less grippy than stock when they're cold and a lot more grippy than stock when they're warm. Brake with them a few times and they'll keep on biting. With OEM I remember brake pad fade during excessive braking.
