[QUOTE="RottieBoy, post: 414864, member: 17528"] Here my REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE ..... I've used semi-metallic pads by top class brands like "Axxis" "PBR" & "Repco" they produced somethinking like 1/4 the dust of the stand organic OEM pads and had much better bite. the theoretical reduction in rotor life was not noticeable and the performance was like night and day.. (fantastic bite, improved feel, greater overall stopping power in BOTH day to day driving and fast road driving - ie the 160-190km/h zone) to be honest: I initially doubted the manuf claims but after using it for a month I was "converted" semi-metallic was "cutting edge" a short while back, now the latest is "ceramic-metallic" which is supposed to be even lower dusting, better bitting and lower rotor wear than semi-metallics ... all the above are not just subjective but objectively supposed by coeff-of-friction test at various operating temperatures at different pressures..... thus all things being equal.. it is a FACT that ceramic are superior to semi-metallic which are superior to organics etc incredibly the cost between ceramic & semi-metallic is neglible (soemthing like Rm10 bucks)... I've just installed PBR ceramics on my e32 and look forward to MUCH cleaner wheels & improved performance... [/QUOTE]
