Ceramic OEM brake pads

Anybody get their ceramic pads from Toyota? They wanted $160 for the non-ceramic pads, and only $60 for the ceramic pads.

I thought the ceramic would be more expensive.

 

...bueller...

 

In My Mind (what is left of it ..... There /I go again ...), Which do you want to wear/replace first?? Rotors or PAds ??? The Ceramics will last longer but at a heat and wear trade off to the ROtors.

 

Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I thought (don't have any real experience), that the ceramics would help make the rotors last longer as they can dissipate heat better.

 

Ceramic won't make near the dust of an organic pad, but they are harder on the rotor. Rotors really aren't that expensive. I personally like ceramics for the dust factor. Make sure you properly bed them if you go that route.

 

How do you properly bed your front brake pads?
