I use ceramic on my Ram, Yota, and wife's Sonata. Yota has about 30,000 miles since I out them on.

Fi the dash, I used one from HERE. Others have used LMC for theirs with good outcomes. I also replaced carpet in mine and had driver's seat reupholstered.

The new rotors have the race pressed in but dont come with a bearing. my old bearings seem fine, is it ok to use them contrary to the Haynes manual saying bearings and races come as a matched set? any help is greatly appreciated

I would replace the bearings. I never reuse them.

I like the Gold one's from Advanced.. I had Calipers lock up on my Jeep on both sides and i had to drive 30 miles to my paw's house like that.. took the pads off and they looked bran new even though i smelt breaks burning the entire way. I'm sold on them since then.. never had any problem with them.
