Looks Great! Have you noticed a difference in stopping and did it eliminate the dust issue on the rims? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. :)
Appreciate the feedback!!:D

Definitely stops better, but I can't get them to quit squealing. I'm thinking of buying a different set of pads and seeing if that stops the noise.

i got ceramics pads on my jeep, should be the same and yeah the squealing was killing me, but i was told is normal, just wait a couple of months and ull be good, no more squealing for me :D
i feel ur pain bro but u r probably better of waitting instead of getting a new set... good luck!

Gecko...where did you get your rotors and pads from? i heard that R1 makes pads that dont make a squeal noise, i dont know personally but i plan on buying them soon...

I did it myself. i bought a set of rotors and pads off ebay. I needed new ones and these were as cheap as buying stock. I figure I'll spend a little on some new pads and see if it helps at all. i mainly bought them for the look since I had new wheels.

Looks good bro....I put the duralast gold ceramics with the nitrile whatever on mine, lol. I have a squeal too. Its slight though.....like when in cloggy traffic coasting and slowing at low speeds I get it.... Just wait it out for a little bit. May I recommend Wagner Thermoquiets. My father put them on his srt8 and Shawn (SRT8UP) did too. Brake dust is minimal and they havent had any squeal......
