NAPA and Raybestos also provide ceramic brake pads. Actually, the NAPA pads are made by Raybestos. The Raybestos pad is called Quiet Stop. Studies I have read indicate that the Ceramic pads do not stop as well as semi metalic, but my experience is that most people would probably not notice the difference. The ceramic pads may be a little more rotor friendly too.
Thank you for sharing about the Car Quest pads. I wonder if they are also supplied by Raybestos, or perhaps I should say the Raybestos parent company, Brake Parts of America.
