ceramic vs titanium kevlar
anyone using ceramic or titanium kevlar pads?i cant stand washing my wheels and then after a ten minute drive they look like hell.The squeeking is killing me too.
If anyone is using them please give me the pros and cons so i can justify spending that much for brake pads...i only use the car for street driving,no racing.

Take a look at the Carbotech Bobcat 1521
The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser, and has won multiple SCCA Solo 2 and Prosolo National Championships. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. Bobcat 1521™ compound has also been found to extend the life of your rotors 2-3 times. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

I've had both the GM ceramic and now the Bobcats. I can say without equivocation that the Bobcats are THE WAY TO GO. Much better bite and modulation than the ceramics, and very little dusting at all. The Bobcats aren't cheap, but they are well worth it in my opinion. They just flat work - at least as well, if not BETTER than the stock Z06 pads, and much better than the Delco ceramics!

i took a look at them after that last post yesterday and they have an impressive write up.but the selling point was hearing from an actual user of them,and it sounds like you have a solid opinion for them,i do believe that you get what you pay for.
Thanks DVS1.
