[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1026787, member: 61136"] Mark, I agree with that. IMO, the only good about ceramics is low dust. They are not recomended for towing or mountain driving. Many I know that has used them around here. It ground their rotors thickness down to replacment. Especialy some of the oem type rotors are soft castings.. I gauged my ex's rotors after those adv plat ceramic pads. They were almost at the minumum. She didnt have the $$ for replacement rotors. So I threw a set of cheap AZ pads' on it. Told her to save some $$$. Advance talk her into the plat level pads. I will do what I can for her, within reason. She has to buy the parts. But she recently was out $300 for plugs on the 3.0L V6 DOHC. I didnt feel like tearing the top of the motor down for the 3 rear plugs. The bottom of the upper intake was 3/8" from the top of coils. I think Ford is the only one folding the upper over the top. The gen2 4.0L trac has the same look. But the plugs arent' under it Now her front crank seal leaks bad. I told her not me on that either...LOL [/QUOTE]
