Re: Hawk Ceramic Brake Pads?

I dont believe this completely. I believe that the way they work as they do is because of the superior compound, not because they are like rocks.
So my question to all of you who have tried ceramic brakes is do they cause damage if you have standard rotors? Anyone have problems?
Thanks,
George

George, there was a very recent posting this very question, use your search and look them up. I personally have NAPA ceramics on my last 3 PT's and never had a problem with the stock rotors.
