Someone correct me if I'm wrong... I believe that ceramic brakes take longer to heat up, therefore when they are cold they don't work all that well, one warm they work great. I also think that they last longer too(?)

for what i know ceramic pads are good for hard breaking but they dont last as long as normal pads

in my opinion stick with the basics after all its cheaper and you dont have to replace them as much, but if its something that you really want, find out if the dealership offers them, if they do, find out the model number and get them online

well, i mostly want them cause i heard that they reduce sound and brake dust, which are both very annoying to have on your car

here's what other people have said about them

the website selling the pads says

* Guaranteed to outperform O.E. pads and fit perfectly every time
* Works with O.E. brake systems and ideal for AEM Big Rotor Brake Systems
* Non-ferrous metal compound is non-corrosive, won't deteriorate brake components
* Light colored dust does not show on wheels
* Low squeal properties

so they wont mess up my rotors, or are they lieing?

my brakes are starting to squeal quite a bit lately. we had alot of rain and cold weather so i think that may be the cause.
Or are my brakes due for a change?
and if so , will ceramic really be absolutely quiet?
