Hey guys. I heard this company called "raybestos" makes some ceramic soft break pads, which arn't supposed to make much noise as semi-metallics do.

Just wondering if anyone has picked up any and knew if they worked or not. i hate having my breaks squeal!

 

I'm using Raybestos PG Plus brake pads on my car, and I havent heard any squealing. They've been on there for a year or so.

Thanks for the reply! yeah, they offer a "quiet" version of their pads. im thinking of grabbing some.

 

I've been running Raybestos "Quiet Stops" in my car for a month. Best damn investment I've made. All the other pads regardless of how quiet, left tons of dust. I have had to clean nothing but regular dust off the rims once since changing the pads. Awesome. Highly recommend.

 

I installed some Wagner LT pads a year ago and don't have any noise or brake dust.

A little expensive, but worth it!

PERFORMANCE FRICTION ARE THE BEST SO FAR AND U CAN GET THEM RIGHT AT AUTOZONE. CARBON METALLIC PADS

 

Dude I worked for AUTOZONE for 10 years and all I have to say is their parts SUCK !!

Even when I worked there the only thing I bought was oil.
Their return rate is high,and they sell generic parts.

But hey, if you want 20.00 brake pad's (you get what you pay for !!)

I work for O'Reilly's now and sell a FULL line of brand name part's.(A/C Delco,Motorcraft,Fel-Pro,Monroe ect.ect

Just my 2 cents

Later

I work at Trak Auto, and we have a high return rate also. I think all parts stores have a very high return rate (equalling that of Wal-Mart).

Bendix is supposed to be good, i'm about to try their FleetForce Brakes which they say are designed for Cop Cars and stuff.
