I did the Kevlar/Ceramic pads on a Mercedes 560 SEL. Huge mistake. I can
actually see the metal transfer on the rotors. Started having the bouncy
brakes in maybe 2,000 miles. Not always there but sometimes so bad I hate
to use the brakes. New rotors again and metal masters soon.

I am replacing my front pads and rotors on my 84 Westy.



Came across these pads, and wondered if anyone has used them?

This Kevlar and Ceramic-strengthened compound offers far and away the best
price to performance ratio currently available in a high performance
street
pad. Performing a proper bedding procedure is critical to the performance
of
this pad but once complete, you can expect truly world class bite, MOT,
minimal rotor wear, pad wear, and noise levels. Dust is medium to high. On
front engine platforms, the ULT is excellent for aggressive street and
autocross use in the front calipers. It also works very well in the rear
for
applications ranging from aggressive street to moderate track use. ULT is
NOT recommended for use on road courses in front calipers. Doing so can
cause pad deposition on rotors as well as the resulting vibration. Street
only. OK for club level track use in rear calipers.
