Any one use Ceramic Brake pads?

Thanks for the feedback guys I'm gonna go with the ceramic set. My brakes aren't even do yet but I was going to flush the fluid out of boredom and figured for that price I might as well order them ahead of time.

I was looking on sixity website and it appears they use some sort of hook system on their pads also.

Our front and rear OEM Nissin pads are GG rather than HH rated so I would guess the Ceramic will be more akin to the original GG's. Traditionally GG's are recommended for the rear to allow for a better feel under foot even if you run HH's at the front. I do run Brembo HH's all round as it happens and get on with them well. Not for $41.11 though!

As to the brand, I can't personally comment, you seem to of done your research. Every brand is fallible though, my 2018 Tiger 1200 was recalled for faulty Brembo brake pads on the might M4.32 caliper with instances of the pad material de-laminating from the base plate. You may see brands like EBC highlighting their hook technology (licensed I think) where the pad base plate is covered in micro-hooks to mitigate against de-laminating.

So out of curiosity is GG a rating within "Sintered" or is GG a semi metallic/organic pad?

I feel like I only ever see H or HH when I'm looking for pads.
