Are these REAL?

Post by Daniel »

I purchased Ceramic Brake Pads for the Spider but by the look of the material seems to be semi Metalic
instead with small metal flakes in the Pads. It's hard to see them in this photo cam flash was on and
washed out the metal flake reflection. So My Question is for the people who have installed both Semi
Metalic and Ceramic should I be seeing metal flakes in the ceramic Pads? :? My First time using Ceramics.

I can see why she's holding on to the door. I'm just not sure if it's to stop herself from falling forwards, or flying upwards. :shock:

We do not sell ceramic pads, just good ole' semi-metallic. I think he posted the pic to show what the flakes look like in a semi-metallic pad.

I kinda guessed that was what he did as well but took a little while for it to sink in, my mind was preoccupied and
blurry...
