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(?) _____________________________ You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. 95 EX Auto OBX 4-2-1 Header Type R Strut Bar SRI 174k miles (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 2

Or are my brakes due for a change? and if so , will ceramic really be absolutely quiet? (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 8
