I can't argue on that. I don't know how they work on older
vehicles. My reference is contrast to the "metalic" pads. Most of
the hard pads have some sort of metal in them. Let us know how the
pads and rotors are as you rack up the miles.

I used to subscribe to the "cheapest is best" theory but then I put
ceramic pads on the Jeep. Now I've decided to switch everything over as
I need pads. Braking is superior to even the soft, cheap pads plus brake
dust disappears. I'm sure that I'm wearing the rotors faster but it's
worth the trade for me.

Buy softer, and cheaper pads. The cheapest ones at NAPA work
fine. Pads are a place where more expensive is NOT
better. Expensive ones are hard, and designed to wear the rotors,
not the pads. That is why they usually come with a lifetime
warranty. Your rotors will fall off first.
I have never used ANY anti squeal anything. My pads never squeal,
and my rotors last a long long time. AFAIK over 400k miles on the
SDL. and they are still ok.
