Brake pads/just sharing

Replaced my OEM pads on the front because they were shot. I decided on the Bosch cermaics. They are only on a short time, but they really feel good. Nice stopping power and no noise. After they have been on a while, I'll share how they are again. Just an FYI because guys are always looking and asking. I'm hoping they don't dust like crazy, but the ceramics should be a little harsh on my rotors for sure.

What's up Doc? I had those on too for awhile, after around 2-3 months they started to feel like they did before I changed them. When I inspected them the pads looked like they had very tiny hairline cracks all over them. It looked like there could be a manufacturing defect with them. I took them back to the local Pep boys where I bought them, because supposedly there was a lifetime replacement on them. And they refused to replace them, said that it was normal for them to crack like that. Needless to say, I went somewhere else and bought the Raybestos QS ceramics and they seem to be a little bit better so far. But they squeel just as bad when they get wet.
