Man, this is the third time I've gone through this: I bought a 2001 PT Cruiser and there were no pads for almost 2 years, I bought a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT and it took almost 2 years to get a performance pad (and the OEM ceramic pads were probably the best) and now the CX-9 too?
Are the OEM pads ceramic? I have 14,000 miles on mine and there is almost no brake dust in the wheels each week. I gotta love that!
