ceramic pads are ok with stock rotors? for some reason i thought you needed new rotors for ceramic pads
Rotors are cheap enough to where you should just replace them at this point if you gotta replace pads tooceramic pads are ok with stock rotors? for some reason i thought you needed new rotors for ceramic pads
thanks do you know the part number?I like the Hawk Performance HPS pads. Nice OEM+
Centric/StopTech PosiQuiet ceramic pads (nearly zero dust) and Textar Pro+ high carbon plain rotors.
Rockauto.com had the best prices when I got mine.
i always thought that aftermarket would cause clunking from not fitting properly, or was that just dealer bullshit, also ceramic can be used with stock rotors??

i cant find the textar or stoptech on that site
thanks for the info, i dont track my car but i do drive aggressively but i dont think i need hp pads or rotorsNope, that's a complete bullshit selling tactic. In fact, my factory rear brake pads clunked more than my Ferodo rear pads do now. Every time I put the car in reverse, the OEM pads would clunk. Now, with Ferodo pads, the clunk is gone.
Yes, ceramics are fine with stock rotors. Sure, you're not supposed "mix" pad materials, but it won't make a huge difference if you're not pushing the car. Some might disagree with me on this, but I think it's a good rule of thumb to change rotors when changing pads. It's fairly inexpensive to include, and you don't have to worry about minimal rotor thickness, uneven rotors, old pad material transfer, etc.
Hawk HPS pads are completely the wrong pad for a non-performance daily driver. They also dust a ton.
I 100% agree with this. Centric is the parent company of StopTech. Posiquiets are inexpensive and should work fine for your application. High carbon rotors are an inexpensive upgrade that is probably worth the extra $10 or so per rotor. Centric makes some as well.
On Rock Auto, the posiquiets will be under Centric.
yeah i saw those thanksTextar... you're paying a premium for a German brand, for rotors made in China.
If you're going to get made-in-China rotors, you might as well get Centric High Carbon rotors
