Buddy was just recently telling me about a system like this. I like the idea of rear brake only. On the other hand this place is cool for learning but a dumping ground for your wallet.
I have had them now over a year, and to be honest with you I can't tell the difference. In fact, I didn't replace the front ones when I upgraded to brembos. I still have the one on the rear, but like I said, not much of a difference only thing is it takes a tad more pressure to lock up the rear wheel.

On the fence about this, but there's an awful lot of respectable positive review info out there. Much like Dyna Beads for tire balancing, it just doesn't make sense on the surface as it seems to introduce precisely what we should all be trying to avoid. Free-floating crap in a tire should cause it to go uncontrollably out of balance, and a compressible substance in a braking system should cause it to become spongy and therefor less effective.
I've been wrong before (ask my wife!) and there's enough positive info out there, so this is something I'd be willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Interesting R2L, interesting..
I think that this system is somewhere between the ABS and the regular breaking system then?

I read that Geico and Progressive were doing or going to do tests on these but have not seen anything since.
I'm real close to giving these a shot, at least on the rear but need a little more to convince me.
