Thx in adv.

Ceramic cuts down on the brake dust. I would use the Fleet metalic. They do a good job and don't cost as much. I have seen some rotors that ceramics wore out pretty fast and others that they did not. Guess it depends on the rotors. Hope this helps.

Thanks much Plowhand..
Your info helps alot. I was sold on ceramic's until someone on this site talked about bendix fleet metallic.. that opened another possibility. I felt as you indicated that ceramic might destroy the factory rotor. wasn't sure.
thanks
