These pads must not get built to a very good tolerance.

Thanks for your result/findings...as I stated before these pads made by non OEM manufacturers is off on size...I use OEM on my vehicles , but many don't want to pay 120.oo +++ for them ...
with the pads fitting with slight resistance to slide , they will last much longer...and the ABS will respond correctly..
I have used both types on vehicles I have replaced pads on, and you should not see the heating of the pads until they seat....to stop this , sand the rotor faces with 120 grit sand paper in an circular motion...this will help greatly to seat the pads surface, to reduce the damaging efffects, that could be created by the hot spots..
easy on braking for a couple of hundred miles..also..
good luck...
