I have had good luck with Wagner ThremoQuiet ceramic pads. They are a bit pricey but have been worth it so far.

Good Luck.

I've had trouble with ceramic pads and premature rotor wear.

I use high quality semi-metallic pads.

I guess I'll be the only one so far that uses the cheapest I can get. Usually off ebay or Rockauto. Never had issues braking, and when they get all muddy and trashed It doesn't bother me.

I installed Wagner ThermoQuiet Pads & shoes five years/52,000 miles ago. I last checked them about 2 months ago; they are still working great, and still have about 75% of pad material left.

These are outstanding performers; no fade whatsoever, very VERY long life, and OEM performance for about $60/set. They leave very little residue on the wheels and are very quiet, even when roasting hot.

Very highly recommended. You get what you pay for. These are no exception.

I use Wagner Thermo-Quiet on everything.

I have a lot of vehicles. Probably too many.
