Replaced the carbon fibre brake pads with ceramic pads, less dust and they are very harsh until they are warmed up at highway speed.

Blue- You mean the Ceramic pads are harsh ? I put some ceramics on wifes Mopar & after proper bedding, they are super smooth & stop great.

No the carbon fibre pads are harsh. Maybe I’ll save them for running down to Florida.

Sounds like a good move for the Fla run. 10-4, no regrets here on the ceramics.

I'm still running the OE pads & shoes on my HHR. But I did just flush the brake systems on hers & mine & used Synthetic Hi-Temp Dot 3...

Took a drive to Hamilton, it’s been 6 months since Sweetie’s last checkup, and she has graduated to another follow up in May 2019 then another check up the following year!
Seems like yesterday, I was driving to see her everyday, but that was 3 years ago.
