I live in a cold climate, so ceramics was a HORRIBLE choice for me. I tried the Cool Carbon but they were just not what I wanted as the initial bite, during daily stop and go traffic was very bad adn left me pushing the pedal to floor harder and sweating a bit. I stuck with factory (Jurid pads) and ATE (I believe) rotors and will just wash the wheels more (Sonax wheel cleaner is a dream). nothing has made me feel confident in stopping power, like the dusty factory pads/rotors.
