[Shotimes] Ceramic Brake Pads

[Leigh Smith]

John;
I have them (Raybestos Ceramic) on the rear of my SHO and the front of 
my Villager minivan. You think SHO's are underbraked, that thing has the 
94 ish sized 10.5 in Ford rotors and weighs 4300 lbs empty. Probably 
5000 lbs all loaded.
Basically I like them a lot. Almost no dust, wheels wash easy, no 
squeel, no cold hard pedal, good response, not grabby, and don't fade 
with hard stops even with all that weight. Wear seems low, and no rotor 
vibrations (nice change). Friction coefficient might be just a little 
lower than some others, but hard to tell. I am very picky about brakes, 
and yet these didn't cost $100 / pair. Great value. Haven't needed to 
try them on the front of my SHO yet, as I can't wear out the Porterfields!
