Don, the pads have to be a blend because all ceramic pads would be bad![:0] They would not wear down, creating no dust, but would have no bite either! In a blend, they are fantastic; great bite and low dust, although they still aren't the best performance pads. But they are a great compromise between crappy OEM pads and ultra dusting performance pads! [?]

????? I had Raybestos Ceramics on my '02 and loved them. NAPA has them as top line. I believe they are 100% ceramic (Fronts). Next down was a "blend" followed by "semi-metallic". Why would rears be different? [:I]

Don, all Ceramic pads use the same components as every pads do, they just have ceramic fibers to hold everything together. A 100% Ceramic pad
WILL NOT have any bite whatsoever. No manufactor makes 100% Ceramic pads, as that would provide no stopping power at all.
BUT when blended together with the regular pad components, they provide excellent wear, ultra low dusting and virtually no brake fade due to heat. If that's what NAPA told you, they are full of it. Their top ceramic pads may have a higher blend, but are in no way possible pure ceramic. Plus, there are many brake pads that provide much better bite then ceramics, but then again they dust horribly, wear down the rotors much quicker and are noisy as hell! [:0]
