Do Ceramic pad pins ruin pads like std ?

Post by HYFR » Sat Jan 08, 2011 9:27 pm

I understand the standard brake pads have a very helpful design where by they will eat into the discs with the warning pin before the light comes up on dash

just wondering if my ceramics are likely to fall to the same fate?

pads are ~40% worn at the mo, so im not worried right now, but would be good to know if I need to keep an eagle eye on em !!

I've heard that to replace pads with 50% life remaining for long ceramic disc life.

245+vat, 48+vat for the fitting kit if you need it and 39+vat for the wear sensors
