Ferodo makes great front disk pads for BJ8s. Don't

just be prepared for more brake dust!

Has anybody tried the new(ish?) pads made - I think - from some ceramic
material? I've seen ads for them in the Healey mags over here, UK. Apparently,
they last forever (!) and give off no brake dust!
I suppose the trade off is that the discs (rotors?) last about half an hour?
Something has to be sacrificed in a crude old friction device?
But, I'm intrigued and would value comments.
Simon.
