There are many, many companies that use ceramic material in their brake pads. They obviously are not 100% ceramic or they would not be very good at stoping the car. -Fred W

The wheels on my 528 get dusted up very quick and they are not easy to clean. I'm not sure what brand of pads the previous owner had installed ( although I suspect factory replacements sold and installed by the local dealership ) but I'm planning on trying the ceramics on it. The ceramic pads seem to do a great job on my very heavy Expedition and the dust is almost eliminated.



I love the way the 528 stops now, on a dime, but I'd like it to stay clean longer too. Anyone here using ceramic pads? Anything I should look out for?


I've heard of ceramic rotors, not pads.
