When I put pad's, rotors, and calipers on my truck, they all came from Advance Auto Parts. I didn't have any issues with them. :dunno:

What's wrong with Semi-metallic? Isn't that what came stock on early GMT800's?

I heard that ceramic doesn't have the initial bite that other pads have and I worry because I do a long freeway ride to work and with cold brakes, I need that initial bite when a jerk cuts me off (daily occurrence).

Ceramic is nice because it doesn't suffer fade like metallic and semi-metallic pads do...

I want ceramic pads and rotors... Just so when I slam on the brakes for some wicked drifting videos the rotors glow red :lol:


Apparently my truck comes with ceramic pads from the factory :dunno:

...Still need to get these pads and rotors lol.
You should go post in the procrastinating thread

Is there seriously one? :lol: No time on the weekends, and during the week my buddy and I have a different schedule so he can't help out. Guess the least I could do is buy the damn things. Since this thread I've got a trans cooler and door seal, neither will save my life when the brakes completely die.
