New Ceramic Pads installed

[gcthree]

I got sick of continually cleaning the wheels from the dust emitted by the stock pads, and I put a set of Rotora (www.rotora.com) ceramic brake pads all around, and the dusting has all but disappeared with no deteriation in braking performance!

Even though there was plenty of 'meat' left on the stock pads, it was time for them to go!

the site is broken but do you have a part number because i would really like to replace the stock ones as well due to the horrible dusting. Did you replace them yourself? If so was it hard? Do ceramic hold up to heat and cold?

What other pads would people recommend?

i got 'em from autonzone......it's easy to DIY.....you need brake pad spreader, to push apart the caliper for the front....on the rear you need a special tool rcause the caliper piston usually twists in do to the ebrake

Just curious, do ceramic pads wear quicker? Do they perform as well as the stock pads?

i put 'em on the front and i think there's a difference.....there is no down side 'cept the extra money to buy 'em
