Well...I don't have the ceramics, but I do have the titaniums as well as the organics on the back, so here we go:

After less than 10k miles the front rotors have warped and grooved, no racing here, just commuting. The pads squeal for a moment when stopping from 50-60 mph as well. Dusting is less than stock, but still very much present. The rear rotors also have slight grooves and the pads dust MUCH worse than stock. Overall, the stopping power is adequate as a stock replacement, however, the rotor quality is very POOR.

And while all the band-wagoneers are going to jump my ass for saying so, I would not recommend these brakes.



Did you use the shims - because if you did, they shouldn't squeal.

The rotors are quality, so I don't know what's going on there.

FYI - the rear pads are the SAME as OEM install - yes, rear pads from the factory were Bendix. I puled a set off a 99 this weekend and confirmed it, and yes they were the original, the clips were still on the rotors from the assembly line.

Not sure what's going on with your brakes but you're the FISRT I've seen/heard with issues from my brakes.

If you warped them in 10K miles, you didn't break them in right to start with, and/or your "commuting" must involve some SERIOUSLY heavy braking.
