if i'm correct, metalic is better for stopping, since its harder, but it wears out faster, louder, and wears out the rotors faster, ceramic is quieter, lasts longer, and doesnt wear the rotor out, and also a bit less stopping power then the metalic.

I've used Raybestos or EBC RedStuff Pads on my cars, and I love em. Good power, quiet. They Raybestos are a little worse in terms of brake dust, but I wash my car about every 10-12 days anyway. h:

Why do you think I chose gunmetal wheels?? h:

Besides, a few seconds at the gas pump is all it takes to freshen them up a bit.
