It's listed on PBR's web site, but the page for that particular product is down, so you only can guess as to the details. Also, their comparison pages (in the technical section) seem to be comparing the same four pads as in their product section, given color of the boxes. But, the charts list a '4WD' pad on the site instead of the 'Ultimate', and of course I can't find any mention of a 4WD pad. Very odd, but I am assuming given the color match and no mention of any other product, that it's just a typo or internal code or something and it's really referring to the Ultimate. That's my story anyhow. :)
My parts guru tells me that everyone who's tried them has loved them (the Ultimate Ceramic) and that they are low dust, low noise, easy on rotors, perform as well or better than the metalmasters. However, they are so new that I expect pad and rotor life cannot adequately be judged except for track users. I got them from Import Parts Specialists (hope it's kosher to mention them, don't think they are a TSN sponsor) in Boise, ID. Price was about $33 or so for each axle, so about $6 more than the Metalmasters.
Unfortunately, it will probably be another week or two or four before I get them put on my car, with so much going on this summer. My Metalmasters are still at 20%, and I don't use my brakes much, so there is no rush.
