If you mean Ceramic.. I wouldn't dare.. I had Powerstop Ceramics on for a bit and I was not impressed with its ability to stop.. I moved to Z36 Severe Duty, they are pretty good.. I'm now at Hawk LTZ now... We carry Hawk and Powerstop at the shop, I like to test the products so I can give good information to customers when they are trying to pick aftermarket pads..

I would stick with a Heavy Duty pad.. Grant it you will have a bit more brake dust than Ceramic.. But considering our SD's weight close to 8k, you don't want to feel the "I'm not stopping".. I had that few times with the Ceramics on hard braking (simulated emergency situations).. They just didn't grab hard enough..
