Question ceramic pads

Does anyone have any experience with ceramic pads? I am tempted to install some but can't find anyone who has tried them or knows much about them.

yeah... your stock pads... they are ceramic and dusty and noisy...

go with Hawk or NISMO pads...

less dust... better performance.... well...

I used Satisfied Ceremic Pad before and they were pretty good. No complaints.

Thanks - I notice that you are now using Hawk HPS which is my other option. How do they compare with the OE and the Ceramic pads for performance wear etc.?

I used Satisfied Pro Ceremic Pads before.

I like the Ceremic Pads. It was quite and no dust(maybe a little). The only thing was, it seemed like it was not performing as good as the stock pads.

Thats why I decided to go with Hawk HPS. As for Hawk HPS, it was pretty much the same.

I don't know if its just me but stock brake pads seem to perform the best when it comes to stopping.

One thing I did notice about Hawk HPS Pad is that as time goes by, the brake seem to perform better. One fortunate thing about me is that I don't have any brake noise on Hawk pads. I know that some people on the forum were complaining the brake noise.

I am going to try Project Mu B-Force next time.
