Re: Changing front pads & cutting rotors

You may have to open the bleeder valve on the caliper to depress the piston. If you do, be careful to only crack it open a tiny bit until brake fluid starts to ooze out and immediately tighten it up when you get the piston in the desired position. True ceramic pads are more expensive and only perform better at the extremes. The ones you're looking at are ceramic particle impregnated but will be much better than organic and less dust producing than semi-metallic. With the warranty, I would get them. More and more companies are eliminating lifetime warranties on parts that are designed to wear out.
