Ouch! Please suggest something less painful!

Bart, apologies if this is hijacking your thread... but I have a question for R1 (or anybody else that might know).

Do you have to use the semi-metalic pads with the R1 rotors, or will use of the ceramic Isuzu OEM pads work fine with them? Explain.

Thanks.

Woh! I didn't know that Isuzu OEM pads were of ceramic compound. If it is, your pads should be fine. No need to spend the extra money on new pads.

Wait, I don't think that's right. Aren't OEM pads semi-metallic?

I checked the knowledge base but it didn't specify:

BTW, pads should ALWAYS be changed when installing new rotors, ESPECIALLY if you are changing to a different pad material.
