98 T&C and Raybestos QS Ceramic Pads wear excessively

Beware Raybestos QS Ceramic Pads. I installed them and initially liked them better than original equipment. Van braked quicker and pads seemed to bite better. Unfortunitly they wore right down to the metal mounting plates with only 10,000 miles on them. I usually get about 50K for a set of pads on any vehicle. I saved the left-overs and wrote the company to see if they would do anything about it. Those pads were spensive! Pierre

BEWARE>>>>BULL I have a set on my 1999 dodge grand caravan and installed them at 88,000 milesI I now have 111,000 on the van and the brakes are great just as they were when I installed these pads. As for wear I have more than half left on the front pads...Dont jun mp the gun and trash the pads...Chech your calipars and are the Bushings greases well and also the slide the pads and the calipar sit in are they free of rust and also well greased...
