Ceramic Brake Pads
Anyone go with a ceramic brake pad yet?
Lower dust, less heat fade. |

No ceramic probably isn't a good idea. It requires heat to work. The Insight is neither heavy enough nor driving fast enough to build up the heat required to get the pads to start working to their full potential. When you are driving 120mph and need to repeatedly slow down to 60mph for a sharp turn then ceramic pads are for you. Doing an auto-x will not heat up your brakes enough.
