brake pads - ? on lsd additive

hello, all.

hoping for some feedback from this trusted group, on the following:


did a few searches and, unless i missed it, was unable to find an answer:

i stopped by murray's auto parts for a quote on pads and was told that OEM called for ceramic.

anyone know what the ISUZU pads are made of? ceramic, semi metallic, etc.?

also, while on this topic - i have been trying to get a feel for OEM-like quality (no dust, performance) brake pads, but not sure if there has been a review as well. I have seen mention of SP Street Perfomance and R1. has anyone used these? if so, any results? any other brands recommended?

i know the ISUZU pads are, possibly, the best way to go. but... $$

re: lsd additive - is 4 ounces of LSD additive in the rear diff, enough? that's the size bottle that my dealer said was needed. thanks!!

as usual, thanks all.

The OEM brakes are hard to beat... even with the dust

When I changed my diff. fluid to syn., I used only one bottle & it works fine.
If you notice excessive growling noise from the rear diff. after the change, just add some more LSD additive.
