Auto zone duralast ceramics

Advanced auto Wearever ceramics


What say you

I historically used the Wearever (non-ceramic) on many vehicles....because they were cheap. Keeping that in mind, you get what you pay for. They would be dusty, and not last particularly long. Several months ago I put the Duralast ceramics (and new rotors) on my 99 4X4 Blazer. They have a better braking power to them now, little or no dust, and so far seem to be lasting better. For my money I go with the Duralast.

Just and update on this older post regarding my ceramic Duralast CMax pads. I put these on my S10 pickup too with new rotors. After 40,000 miles I'm starting to notice the brakes "moan", and I've had some issues with braking power. I clean the pads and rotors (front and back) every 2-3 months, and there is very little dust. What I'm seeing is the rotors are smooth as mirrors. I believe the ceramic is such a hard material that it polished the rotors. The brake "moan" is the slippage as the pad tries to grab. I'm interest in anyone's opinions or experience with this. I'm thinking about turning the rotors and going back to semi-metallics. As for the Blazer 4x4, it is fine with the same set-up, but I haven't driven it as much.
