    After reading that post....

    I can definitely say that it was owner error.

    putting on ceramic pads may wear them faster but does not turn them to crap.
    I want you to go in your backyard and conduct a little experiment Einstein.

    go take a piece of wood and start rubbing a rock up against it.

    See which lasts longer, the piece of wood, or the rock. I know where I've got my money.

    because the rotors were garbage BEFORE i put on the ceramic pads!!!! YA BEFORE !!!!! maybe i should say it one more time so you can understand it BEFORE !!!! the stock rotors on MY vx are GARBAGE.
    So you made them worse by putting hard pads on them.

    BRILLIANT!

    Oh and,
    like you said thats his opinion.and if you talk to others they will say you don't need stainless steel brake lines
    I don't think you'll find a single person out there that will refute the worthiness of upgrading to braided lines unless its their personal preference for mushy stop pedal.

    drdavid:
    Same here, had to replace my rear rotors under 30,000 miles!!!, they were real crap from Isuzu!

    I realized there was a problem when I was traveling 60MPH down hill towards a light and before I knew it , it changed red and I slamed on the brakes but the truck didnt stop and I slid right through the intersection and red light. Lucky I didnt get hit. Thats when I brought it in for a brake job!
    More than likely this was caused by air in the brake line or "boiled" brake fluid thats done gone kicked the bucket. Same thing happened to me in the ole troop except I had a boat on the hitch pushing me through that intersection !!!! After I replaced the MC and still had the problem, a simple fluid change finally solved my problems.
