Have you visually checked the pad thickness yourself? I didn't find the SSS that jerky. I liked it so much better than the gentle Hawk Ceramics. Was a great progressive biter, better than Hawk where you could control the amount of bite using brake pedal pressure. I am now using Project Mu NR and that is has strong initial bite. When I first drove it, it felt like your brake pedal was only fully off or 50% on! I couldn't get on the pedal gently enough to have smooth braking. But after 1 year, it has become more gentle probably because of the bedding in and me getting used to using touchy brakes.
