Re: Pad recommendations for a schmoe?
"...i'm wondering if these ceramics might be too hard on the rotors.. "
That's a legitimate concern, I was about to login to tirerack and order a set... gonna wait for an answer (if available) to the above first.
So anyone running these pads for a decent amount of time?

i have felt little to no change in the pads in stopping power from the stock ones. as for them being quiet well today io noticed a slight squeek when they were cold, but a squeek here and there is much better than brake dust everywhere! i am wondering how they will hold up over time? they are the cheapest brake pads i have ever purchased which makes me question the durability. if they don't last to long i am going to take my stock pads to pep boys and try to match them up to raybestos quiet stops they are ceramics as well and they worked clean and great on my old car and lasted.

Actually, on the G35s, the rears have been wearing out a lot sooner than the fronts (strange and not your typical wear situation) and there's a TSB on it for replacement of rear pads. (Had my rears replaced and my fronts are still 80%) So, be sure to look at the rears, too.

dream,
Don't you attribute the rear wear to your racetrack time? It seems that one or two others with track time have stated that the rear pads wear exceptionally fast under extremely aggressive driving conditions...like at the track.
