and read the reviews. Some love them, some say don't waste your money, buy Kool Stops. I like them for a budget build. They are quiet and look right to me.
Thing is, Continentals *are* Kool Stops - the packaging for the grey pads is identical to the picture in the post above, but the pads are grey instead of salmon. I'm trying to figure out if there is any difference in compound (nothing on the package to indicate there is), and like you I prefer the look of the grey.
