Hey everyone..well we took the truck down to the shop today to have new brake pads put on and the rotors cut. I planned on getting ceramic brake pads. Guess what...ceramic brake pads are illegal in PA??? Did anyone else know that. Couldnt believe it. This is an official inspection place so i guess i take their word for it. Not like police can pull you over for this. Just never heard of it before

 

Did they tell you why?

 

WTF? Why would PA regulate that of all things? Every other state allows them, so they can't use the "safety" issue. I'd LOVE to hear the reason behind this.

 

Sounds like a load of BS!

 

maybe they just did not carry ceramic so they did not want u to buy anything but what they had.

 

That's like saying keepin a quarter behind your rear seat back is illegal.........nobody is ever gonna look so who cares?

 

Lead content maybe? I've googled this and found nothing... Might have to fly the ole' BS flag here...

 

Up goes the flag...





Call your local Otter Zone and/or Paprika Boys parts stores... I bet they have them on the shelf. Let us know...

 

love that flag rock

 

If you were in NJ , I would have no problem believing this. But PA??? They still allow you to burn trash in your back yard & hunt from a tree stand in your own yard. I think someone's pulling your chain. & succesfully I might add.

KC-10 FE out...

 

I love Texas. No BS like that to put up with here.

 

same here! Ceramic brake pads will do away with the brake dust problem right?

 

Call the closest State Trooper station and they should be able to tell you as they typically enforce the state inspection statutes.

 

Kick *** Flag LOL

Ok so is there a practical reason about illegal ceramic brake pads are they not the same as organic pads?? I know of some cars being really **** about certain brake pads but since when does the government tell you a certain composition of a brake pad is illegal and really how can you uphold that pathetic law if it even exists.

 

They have already banned asbestos from pads, lead from fuel and paint. There i no reason why they wouldn't ban something els if they thought it was a safety hazard. Not saying that the reason given he couldn't get ceramic pads wasn't BS, but there are things banned for specific reasons.
