[Shotimes] Ceramic Brake Pads

[Steve Weinrich]

I installed them on my wife's 98 Contour last year to replace the dusty OEM
pads.  I added a set of cryo-treated rotors this year as the stock ones had
been turned previously trying to get rid of a warp (pre-existing to the
ceramic pads).

I am very happy with them so far and the wife has not complained about the
brakes on that car in months.  Plenty of other things, but not the brakes!.

which also helps.  Wear seems to be very good, and if the rotors aren't made
out of pot metal, they are rotor friendly.

wheels clean.
