Better Performance-durability and heat dissipation. Also comes with hardware and bigger price (by$20)
I want to save the money and I may not need any improved performance over the Brake Best Select. I don't drive very hard for very long or often. I bought D/S Rotors for the added effectiveness in wet conditions and hopefully to last longer with the extra cooling of the holes. I want to do the pads at the same time.
Would I be making a mistake if I go with the Brake Best Select?

Note if you pull the injectors to obserbe fuel delivery...make sure you leave the plugs in and disconnect the ign. Believe me

Well I intended this to be a question of the two I listed. I am basically asking if there is a significant difference in quality of the low priced ceramics and the high priced Ceramics.
I appreciate your input and am considering all my choices.

My personal experience with the Wagner pads is that they cause a lot of dust (at least in my case). I'm not sure about your other ones. I put Raybestos pads and rotors on over a year ago and I'm still happy with the performance and dust on mine! Just my two cents.. good luck though!
I bought the Brake Best Select Ceramic pads. Comes with the basic hardware. These along with d/s Power Stop rotors should clear up my pulsating steering and brake pedal and help retain braking performance when its seriously raining. I've not been performance bound on most of my repairs since I got this car. But when it comes to brakes better performance is demanded.
