RE: [CadillacOwners] Re: 99 SLS Brake Rotor and Pad replacement

Good post Pat. Right on the money.

Tony, I would seriously wonder about the quality of those parts @ $200 for all 4 wheels. Although I am not adverse to a deal, that sounds too low $$$ to be quality.

Tony,There was a recent discussion about your questions. Generally, cross-drilled rotors run cooler. Metallic pads are the best overall route. However, they wear rotors faster. However, since you will be replacing the rotors, you should get many thousands of miles before your next brbrake job.Ceramic pads last longer, have greater fade resistance and keep your wheels cleaner, but, require greater brake pressure. For some not used to them, you might not think your brakes are as effective as they were before the brake replacement.As a final note, the original pads on the new Trailblazers/Envoys are Ceramic.Pat--- In CadillacOwners@yahoogroups.com, "tony_scoongeel" <tony_scoongeel@...> wrote:>> I'm going to need to replace the pads on my 99 SLS soon.
