Want to buy ceramics for 85 300 SD
Anybody happen to have a good set of ceramic pads lying about for the 126 SD? I want some but choke at the price of new ones.

I like the low dust aspect. I see that fastlane has some ceramics that are quite reasonable. I may just go ahead and buy new ones.

Pat, does the car stop as well, or better with the ceramic pads?

In my experience with Hawk ceramics very excellent stopping power is generated with less pedal pressure. In fact I found if you mix them as I did putting on the fronts and not rears that the fronts locked up too easily and I would slide them in wet weather too easily.
Conclusion is never change to ceramics unless you do four wheels. Also I have yet to ever replace a ceramic. They seem to last forever.
