Default Ceramic Brake pads?
I seem to recall something about there being ceramic brake pads available for the GT. Advantages were better stopping power and a lot less dust.

Does anyone know what make/brand they were, and who sells them?

Try this - http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/index.jsp

I'm sure something is available in Canada but not positive.

Okay, I don't have a turbo, but I have Raybestos ceramic pads (PartsAmerica.Com) and I can vouch that they are great! and NO DUST!

IRPT;
Are the ceramic pad part numbers (Raybestos ceramic Pads part #PGD841QS & NAPA ceramic pads part# CMX7716)you refer to for the GT? Please advise.
Hate the brake dust!
Thanks

In another post, 3BarBoost said the SRT-4 uses the same brakes as the PT Turbo. So, it should follow that any brake pads available for the SRT-4 *should* fit the PT Turbo. I believe MX-5 raised the question of part numbers NOT being the same though...
