Just had them installed...They are GREAT!! No dust, last a long time. less heat. I think this is the future for brakes. <br><br>Does anybody know anything bad about ceramic brakes?

 

Had a set in my hand at Napa 90bucks vs. 17bucks for the normal ones....lets just say i saved my money

 

the ceramic pads will wear out the rotors alot quicker than carbomets<br><br>I'd rather replace pads than rotors

 

I just put a set on my wifes Tahoe.<br>Only complaint is they squeal loudly until the rotors heat up, then it goes away. Drives me nuts

 

Bob, Why would the ceramice wear out the rotors? I would think it would be the opposite.<br>What do you mean by &quot;wear out&quot;. Do the ceramics cut into the rotors more than conventional brakes?

 

Spark Chaser, I guess I'm fortunate. I get no noise or squell out of my ceramics.

Put Ceramix on mine a month ago, because Autozone did not have the Performance Frictions I wanted in stock, and they haven't made a sound yet. They stunk pretty weird for a few days until they got broke in, but now the brakes have never been better on that truck. Brakes feel like they're gonna put me through the windshield, and I'll replace rotors with pleasure for good stopping power. ;D<br><br>Chris

 

Spark Chaser..I would think you would have turned down the rotors before you put the ceramics in. If not I would do it. They may have looked good; that may be why you didn't turn them, but &quot;looks can be deceiving&quot;. It may have been warped...just a thought.

 

Stamey..I go along with your logic. Autozone said new rotors are about $40. each. I agree, that's a small price to pay for stoping power.
