Were those the full ceramics from NAPA? If so, they're supposed to be the Raybestos ceramics.
I had Raybestos ceramics on my '02 and got over 50,000 miles on them. I replaced the stock pads at about 30,000 miles, put the ceramics in, and at about 80,000 replaced everything - rotors & pads - the pads weren't gone, but since I was doing rotors....
I have a set of Raybestos ceramics for my '05 that I hope to put in this weekend.
NAPA has 3 pads for the PT - el cheapo, ceramic blend, full ceramic...

Could your pads be dragging? Were they evenly worn?[:I]
