I thought ceramic pads were mostly dust free?

OEM Pads Seem to last Long
I have the original OEM Pads from 8000 miles and now I am over 140,000 and the pads still have some left
The largest percentage of my miles are highway and not a whole lot of braking going on there....only a handfull of emergency stops on record
A lot better quality than you get on most production cars

94,000 miles with the original brake pads & rotors.
When it needs them, I will stick to original equipment.
VX's don't need no stinking mod's.
But they're sure fun!

My fronts were replaced at about 75k, and my rears at about 90k (although they still had life left, I had already bought the pads and was painting my calipers anyway, so I replaced them). Now at about 95k my fronts are already gone again! Darn semi-metallic crapola. As much as I'd like to buy the best for my VX, which most seem to agree are the OEM pads, I've got a lifetime warranty with Autozone, so even if I've gotta replace them every year or two, they're still free. When I've got more cash to spare maybe I'll consider going back to OEM.
