I have to change my pads after using MM. Boy they run out kinda quick seriously lol, compared to the OEM. But the feel and difference was AMAZING.

I'm in the mood of trying something new, but budget $$$ and noise factor will dictate. I don't want anything harsh on my rotors lol.

I would recommend anything ceramic. You might pay a little more but less dust and better stop in any condition. Also that is what we use on our light duty cars and trucks @ the fire station. I can't argue with that!!!!

Yesterday, I had the mechanic install a set of EBC red ceramic brake pads for the rear wheels. No difference yet. I also had my emergency brake adjusted, it did not catch. I had to pull that thing almost vertical before catching, now it's almost at 2 clicks before catching.

Rear brakes do almost none of the work, so it is not surprising you aren't noticing them, go install some on the fronts, you will notice a big improvement.

EBC
I put EBC Yellowstuff and EBC Redstuff front/rear respectively on the traxima. This at same time as new slotted rotors all round as would hope (front are cryo) and am very impressed.
Buying Yellowstuff front/rear on my new dedicated track car evenntually and DO expect it to be fully streetable in California where it never gets below 50 degrees when I drive. Cheers
