Ceramics are going to cost you well into the 4 figures because a) they are made by an exotic process from exotic materials and b) they have zero brake fade. When you say you need new brakes, are we talking about new pads because the old ones are worn out, or are we talking about a whole new system including pads and rotors?

no just pads. i can get morse ceramic for like 80 bucks on all for corners. i thought they were harder on the rotors though and they werent as good as at stopping unless they were really hot. pfc carbons are lik 30 for the front as well. fairly cheap over all. im interested in the better stopping power and less noise and brake dust. maybe it snot possible to have all three but it would be nice lol
