[Quote-72te27]: You guys are putting a lot of stock in the term "ceramic". It can mean anything from .01% to 100% ceramic.

Probably! I have read similar articles or views on Ceramic Friction Materials. So, I have no argument there
What I do know for myself and my personal applications it that, ceramic friction materials have allowed me to get rid of all of the things that I didn't like(various noises, inconsistent braking feel, faster rotor wear, etc.) compared to other friction materials that I was using prior. That's about it for me !
And too, I am not saying that every single previous type of friction material "Sucked" for me, just tooooo many of them, causing me grief!
Nor, am I saying that ceramic friction materials have absolute better braking or bite. Actually, Semi-Mets did for me! For my situation, ceramic friction materials(whatever %) just gives me more consistent braking feel for my liking under a wider variety of driving situations and climate/weather changes. I am more happy with my brakes now.
And I hear of less brake related issues from my wife & daughter...
