Re: Ceramix brake pads (Jim D)
Sounds about right, I paid somewhere around that amount. I noticed that all the NAPA's in my area vary a little in price for the exact same items, so you may want to call several others, but the differences are only a few bucks.

Re: Ceramix brake pads (Da-Cajun)
For a daily driver that does not see track use they are worth the price since they don't squeal, do not show any dust, are cheaper than stock, and perform as well as far as I can tell. Track use (road/autox, not drag), I have no idea, but I would guess that you would want something more appropriate and can deal with the dust/squeal/cold stopping etc.

Jim, call Craig at Van Wickle Auto Parts, it's a NAPA in Point Pleasant, tell him I sent you, he will hook you up.

Re: Ceramix brake pads (Jim D)
You mention NAPA auto parts. I needed six bango compression washers this last weekend. Pep Boy's had two @ 45cents each. Checker - none. Napa had some, but they wanted $1.00 each for a penny worth of copper. This has been my experience on a couple of other occassions with NAPA.. I passed and went a mile up the road to Auto Zone asked for the washers. The manager recognized me and told the fellow helping me "if we have them give them to him". Some days we come out OK. Just passin the minor things in life along that make it an interesting day.
