    ceramic pads....

    Ok, seems I'm going to switch out my metalic pads for ceramic ones. When replacing my rotors with cross drilled/slotted they are very noisy with metalic pads. So, who knows a place to order ceramic pads at a good price?

    Thanks- Jay

    Uh, talk to Ben. He got me some really good Akebono ceramic pads.

    Morse makes ceramic pads. They had excellent initial bite on first stop on very cold days only. After that they felt awful.

    If they stop well, live with the noise. Its not gonna be much better with different pads.

    Jay:

    I have yet to find a better pad than the stock pads.

    Given my choice I would have Porterfield R4S, Carbotech Panther Gold, or PFC 93's None of these compounds are available to fit our caliper.
