Organic brake pads feature aramid fibers; these are man made high-performance fibers used widely for their light weight, high strength, abrasion resistance and thermal stability Aramid fibers have high strength to-weight, thermal stability and abrasion resistance to provide advantages over cheaper steel fiber-based products .
The pads themselves stop fine.
The black paint on the sides of both pads either makes them a little to wide or a little sticky. When I first put the pads in the caliper, they were very tight against the sides, enough that they did not retract and dragged heavily on the rotor.
Sanding away the black coating from the sides solved the issue.
