    so im thinking about buying from rotors from the master himself, clinton, just wondering if i should go with the reybestos pads that would match the rotor or go with a ceramic pad? my truck is lifted and pulling 33's and i keep warping rotors, and yes the back brakes are adjusted correctly.

    well reybestos makes 2 different kind of pads in the professional series you showed me earlier, the SM and Ceramic.
     
  5. I love my ceramics, and I'm hard on my brakes and have no problems.

    To me, I think ceramics would be good
     
  7. Wagner ThermoQuiets is what I have now. Super smooth braking, not as much dust either.

    actually pete do the ceramics last a lil longer than the semi metallic?
     
  21. They should, but mine didn't because I ran through the mud and had no back brakes for over a month. So mine wore out within four months. But the new ones that I just threw on before Christmas still look new.
