'Satisfied' Pro Ceramic Pads and good???
A couple of brake questions. Anyone used the Satisfied line of brake pads, either the OEM or Ceramic pads? I'm looking for a better bite with no additional noise or wear on the rotor plus good pad life.
Also, was thinking of replacing the rotors with Brembo blanks since mine are slightly out of round at 55k miles. Is the rotor free floating, or is it pressed on like early 90's Honda products? In other words, can I replace them myself?

I just installed both products about 2000 miles ago. The brembo's blanks are great, nicely made, $50 each. Satisfied Ceramics are great so far. A little more bite, no noise ( knock on wood ) along with a little more dust.
dude, midas charged me 65-70 buck to install, start to finish, its gonna take you 2-3 hours without a rack and air wrench. If you do it yourself, when your done your gonna wish you just dropped for an hour labor.
$65+$42+$100=$207 for ceramic front brakes pads and brembo rotors is a good deal on any car........imhoceramic

Happy CL-S Pilot
I am just thinking about the same. Those seems nice pads. I need to spend wisely on my CLS.
Most probably, I will get:
1) 2 front blanks brembo blanks.
2) Front and Rear Satisified Ceramic pads ( please ZQQM keep us posted on those)
3) 4 New Stainless Steel Brake lines.
4) New Castrol LMA DOT 4 fluid.
