Re: Raybestos Ceramics (SpinMonster)
The Raybestos pads have many positive factors.. They produce NO dust, they are VERY quiet, they don't kill rotors quick and they last forever... but... they dont stop even as good as stock in my opinion.. I have been running them now for about 2 years on the street but when I go do roadrace events I slap on my PFC race pads.

Re: Raybestos Ceramics (Mike Mercury)
you'll love the ceramics.
I search their site and look like they only carry stock GM pads.
I've seen pics of the GM Ceramic and Raybestos Ceramic pads side-by-side. They look identical. Even the plastic bag containing the accesories is the same (with the exact same part number).
Maybe Raybestos makes them for GM ???????

Re: Raybestos Ceramics (c5chris)
Ceramic-based pads are easy on the rotors. I never had rotors warp or get eaten up by this type of brakepads. The semi-metallic carbon fiber pads are the worst.
these pads are great with low dusting. call me a mental, but i am one that always keeps a towel especially for my rims. they dust just a little so every time i come back from a ride out, i always pass my towel through them and wipe them down.

i have raybestos ceramics on for a long time now almost ever since my car was new. my front rotors are warped. i cant say that my stock pads did that because i barely had them on. then again many people here have had their stock front rotors warped so it might be that they are just garbage.

I have to disaree with you on this:

EBC reds are semi metallic
Also I don't think rotors actually warp but feel like they have warped. I've just seen to many "warped" rotors cured on a roadcourse with lots of heavy braking. Take a look at:
