Anyone here have any input on ceramic brake pads. I heard they were alot better than OEM nissan pads or any other semi-metalic pads. Also that they last longer and dont produce as much brake dust. True or not??
I bought "United" ceramic pads for up front $65 at NAPA
for the set and semi-metalics for the rear, plus had all of the rotors cut. I can feel a bit more grip when i hit the brakes but thats it so far, its only been 2 days.

When you go to have your rotors cut do you take them off yourself, or have them do it?
