Would a ceramic or part ceramic (like the Reds) be more grabby than OEM? Or do you think any rear pad is fine as long as the front grabs more? Or do I have that backwards? Won’t the fronts always grab more due to larger size and weight shift? Is this really a problem with ABS and ESP?
How are the ceramics you are using on the rotors? The OEMs ate my rotors. The Greens barely wear the rotors. There is dust, but it cleans easier than the OEM dust. How is the dust with the ceramics?
No more used pads for me. I already have a set of OEM front pads (<20 miles) that I got stuck footing the bill for with my courtesy front rotors. I don’t even think I could sell these. I will likely give them away one of these days, unless someone thinks there is actually a market for them. I think they run about $104 new.
