If you get those pads, they're likely to drop a house on you.

Check with Gene at Fred Beans on the Delco ceramics. I use the ceramics for my street pads and am very happy with them.

I recently installed drilled & slotted rotors from Sportbrake with Rabestos QS pads. I like the Rabestos pads because of their very low dust and smooth stopping. I dont think you will be sorry with them.

They say you should break in new rotors with old pads. Then put the new pads in. And since I just got zinc coated rotors I can see what they mean. The old pads are taking some abuse getting the zinc off the firepath. At least it looks that way. And now they are looking good so I think I'll put some new pads on.
