Re: Pulsating brakes

I wouldn't worry about increased heat. Often times during a long, hard stop, brake temperatures will reach 1500 degrees or more, so the fact that its 110 degrees in Phoenix and only 90 degrees here in L.A. just doesn't make a real difference in brake pad temperature.

The ceramic pads sometimes make more heat, but their construction is such that it can handle it. The pads get much hotter than the rotors due to their size, so the ceramic pads will take a bit more heat. I wouldn't worry about it a bit. I have had mixed results with ceramic pads but in general I like them a lot. Go for it.
