I was shopping around for ceramic breaks, and just got off the phone with IOC. The parts guy was telling me that they don't even stock ceramic based break pads and that I shouldn't use them. Something about if your vehicle has VDC then it can't use ceramic breaks, and if I go ahead with using them, it will warp my rotors in time.

So I asked him, do I have a choice of getting rid of my break dust problem? I asked him what I should do b/c I'm tired of my rims being covered in break dust ever 2 or 3 times I take the car out....he said, that's a common problem with all Nissan's cars, BMW's, and MBenz. I spoke with the guys over at Nappa and they backed up pretty much what the Infiniti parts guy said. I called up Olympus and they fackin clueless, lol.

Anyways, I'm just tryin to see how many of you guys are using ceramic based break pads... someone enlighten me...

 

i was in desperate need of brake pads about 6 months ago so i made an emergency run to autozone and just picked up a set of duralast cermaic pads for $50 and havnt had any problems yet...

i have organic / ceramic (? i think) pads.

 

Organic? Where was it grown at?

 

so how is the break dust situation with those pads? for ex: how often do you have to clean break dust off your rims? has it been worse or better than before? have you had any rotor issues since? etc

 

what came with my bbk was hawk hp or hps(cant remember) and i have no dusting problems and they work great.

 

I have just about 0 brake dust...i havn't washed my rims in probably 4 months and they are fine

im using ceramic pads too (the ones from autozone) no dust, no brake problems..only thing is that the pads dont bite aggressive enough..but i really dont care since i dont track my car

 

i also have the hawk ceramic pads, no problems for the last 8-9k miles, and a big cut down on brake dust

 

Looks like great feedback on the duralast cermaic pads from autozone!

Thanks guys...that's all I needed to know.

 

ahhaah 100% all natural, n0 preservatives

 

idiot... project mu b-force pads are part organic... you can thank me for the hot tip later.

 

The ones with the ceramic/organic pads bought from autozone, were they for the brembo or no brembo setup?
