Why is ceramic better than semi-metallic? The pads I use for DD and track are semi-metallic, whereas my kitchen has lots of ceramics in it. Again, I wouldn't skimp on brakes, or they might actually be breaks.

Ceramic don't wear the rotor as much as semi metallics do??

Those may be the best pads since the invention of disc brakes - I don't know - but when I see other sets of 370Z rear pads going for $60 and up (way up), all I can say is caveat emptor and good luck with your gambling.
