Ceramic Pad and new Rotors

And what reason did the dealer say that you "need to...change the rotors to rotors with drilled holes"? That makes no sense at all. You don't NEED drilled rotors with any pads. Ask them why they say this, and based on what research.
Also, why switch to ceramic? Though the dust may be less (or at least more lightly colored) they won't bite as well as OEM.

oh bullshat, the oem pads turned my wheels dark gray in 3 mi of driving.
My ceramic pads remain clean and clear for more than 150 miles.....no bs
they perform just as good..........
to the op:
btw, you may need to buy regular rotors if they are too thin to cut, but you should not need cross drilled rotors for ceramic pads.

Depending on their costing. The dealer might be able to get you the drilled rotors for cheaper than the oem stuff too... I know that when using brembo brakes the aftermarket rotors tend to be cheaper than oem by alot. Then only bad thing with drilled rotors is the chance of cracking and not being able to resurface them on a brake lathe.
