I am yes!
Did a lot of research - it was after all once part of my employ - and was satisfied with the technology and application(s), see: https://www.ferodo.co.uk/products/light-vehicles/eco-friction-brake-pads.html
Note: these Ferodo Eco Friction pads are and have been fitted as Original Equipment on Mercedes-Benz C-Class since March 2014 and Audi A4 since September 2015.
PLUS, PLUS: @ £127.47 a set of fronts AND rears (eBay buyanycarpart) delivered! So why not?
OK, my car, a 2016 SQ5, a recent purchase @19K miles had great brakes and only a tad of pad-wear on the discs (see photo) - both front and rear and both inside and outside diameters; but as this SQ5 is going to be a keeper I thought why not sort it now: so ALL 4-brake discs were PRO-CUT and the non working surfaces of the brake disc protected with an acid-etch primer.
Note: rear 'original' pads were 'fast/stuck' in the caliper, tsk: you'd never know until you try and get 'em out...
However, once fitted, these Ferodo Eco Friction pads bedded in easily and very effectively over 25-miles: my usual procedure is to perform six or seven 'hard' 70 to 10mph stops, etc., and allow to cool; and the brake pedal was back to where it was before, near perfect for me.
So, back to to your question and my answer is yes, very pleased with 'em...
