I got the ceramix brake pads today pics inside!

I stopped at napa this morning and picked up these bad boys. I hope they do what they claim. less dust, ultra quiet, and better stopping power. Sopunds to good to be true but the less dust is worth it on 20 inch chrome wheels, pain in the a$$. I figure the amount of money I save on cleaning stuff should add up to make up for the pads, HAHAHAHAHA. the sad part is that I'm probably right!!!

I'm used to getting the raybestos pads for about $40 bucks. My unlce owns an auto parts store, but he couldn't get these.

Keep this thread updated with how you like them. Mine have been dusting badly lately.

I think I'm gonna try those Denso Iridium plugs and see what happens since nobody else has.

Thumbs up

Iv'e had these pads cmx7576 on my L for a week 450miles and only cleaned my front rims once and that includes a trip to the strip. They do not squeel,they offer better stopping power and i would guess 70% less dust than the stock pads.

Do the Ceramix pads come with a lifetime warranty? I know the Performance Carbon Metalic pads from Autozone do. Once they wear out...bring them back and you get a new set!

I am all also very curious on these pads. Are the ceramix pads very harsh on the rotors? I have used some pads in the past that were very destructive on rotors. I will be following this post for feedback and anyone that is using these pads any info would be appreciated.

If they reduce brake dust alone they are worth it.

Cleaned my rims last night, dirty dirty dirty.

ZOR, thats just for the front set of pads, I don't think they make them ffor the back yet.

Well guys I drove my L all weekend and the rims still look pretty damn good compared to the old brake pads. They are without a doubt definetly worth the money. The fact that they don't squell makes them even better to me. I'm not sure if they really offer that much of a better stopping power. I couldn't really tell that much from my old pads, but I have pretty good pads on before. I just like the fact that there's not that much dust from them. 10 times better now.


GET THESE PADS, THERE WORTH IT!!!!
