Re: [Amc-list] RockAuto Prices, rotors and ceramics?

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Performance Friction carbon metallic pads do not make a mess out of 
wheels and are easy (or at least no worse than stock) on rotors. They 
are picky about rotor prep and seating procedures but once that's out of 
the way, they're great. They stop better hot than cold and last a long 
time (I got over 70,000 miles on a set of them on my last Ram).
