Anybody have experience with Textar ePad ceramic brake pads?
I was planning to use regular Textar pads when I put new brake pads on my 2009 CS. I saw the ePad ceramics and could not find any reviews on them, on Rennlist or otherwise. Advertised as less dust/noise. Curious to see if anyone has used them, or knows someone who has, and if so to get their thoughts on them.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I believe I have these pads on my 05 CS. Noticed a nice improvement in stopping power and huge reduction in brake dust. With standard pads i was cleaning wheels every weekend. Now with ceramic pads the wheels look clean all the time.
They squeal a little until they get warmed up. Can't speak to wearability as I've had them on the car for just over a year and 17k miles.

Advanced
No experience, but they do appear to have the ECE R90 stamp, which is a European certification that the pad has passed testing to show it the equivilant of the OEM pad. Accordingly, they should provide the same performance as the stock pads.

I would definitely buy them again - they were expensive but my indy said they should have better longevity than the standard pad. can't offer any real data on performance, but my brakes have a good feel and plenty of stopping power. reduction in brake dust is a very nice plus!
