i hope that helps you out.

Yea to simplify and shorten bullet byke's post, Ceramics will never wear unevenly like a composite will sometimes. And Ceramics usually tend to have a slightly longer life then Composites. That and I switched from Composite to Ceramic and the squealing stopped that my Composites were causing. But Ceramics are the better pad to go with if you ask me.

oh alright thanksss and my last question. so i was looking for pads at tirerack.com and it says "Front brake pads for models with rear disc." does that just mean that my rear tires have to have a rotor disc?

If you have a GT the rear comes standard with discs. So therefore you have disc brakes on all 4 wheels. Here is a link to AutoZone to give you an idea of what you need. Feel free to look elsewhere as well though.

Hope that helped.

also i believe the GT came with different size front pads than the RS/GS front pads. i may be wrong, but that would be the only reasonable assumption if they are posting about 4 wheel disks, at least thats what i think. i don't know for sure because i have never worked on a GT.

They may come with slightly larger pads I'm not sure either. But I sent him a link to AutoZone to give him the idea of what front pads he needs. it's for his year and trim level. He should be able to find his way from there.

yeah i saw that, i was just explaining why the advertisement he read would say "front pads for a models with rear discs"
