Gool luck at the dealer's, Z.  Any possibility of the muffler/exhaust making contact with the pavement?

Got to drive home from the Denver airport last night, 80 miles in a snow storm on my half bald Goodyear SuperCar tires!  T/C light was on going up a pass half of the time, fun times!  Couldn't feel my fingers after I got home from gripping the wheel so tight lol.

Going to drive the wife's Durango this weekend, don't want to put my winter tires on again.  Probably going to buy some Conti DWS tires soon.

Got over 15" of snow and still coming down.

How she looks this morning:

I know the front brake pads the options are kind of limited,especially a high performance pad,had very good experiences with the Akeebono on my other cars.Z     ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad w/ Premium Stainless Hardware


Akebono Pro-ACT Ultra-Premium brake pads are the aftermarket's only OE-validated, application-specific friction formulations. Pro-Act Ultra Premium brake pads apply the same materials, engineering, quality standards and advanced technologies used to create OE ceramic brake pads. This guarantees that Pro-ACT Ultra-Premium brake pads provide the ultimate braking experience.

ProAct Ceramic Disc Brake Pads are engineered to eliminate noise, vibration and harshness. In addition to dramatically quieter braking, ProACT Ceramic Pads provide best-in-class braking performance, including enhanced initial effectiveness (no break-in required), high resistance to fade, consistent brake pedal feel and ultra-low dusting for cleaner wheels and tires. Ceramic technology also causes minimal wear on brake rotors.
• Harmonically damped design for maximum control of NVH
• Vehicle-optimized ceramic formulas for superior performance that is unmatched by "one size fits all" brands
• Post cured and heat scorched to ensure the highest initial effectiveness requiring no "break-in procedures" (exclusive to front formulations)
• "Rotor-friendly" pad formulations prevent uneven rotor wearing and pulsation complaints
• Precision-fit steel backing plates lead the industry in reducing vibration induced noise
• 100% chamfered and slotted to further enhance NVH control
• High resistance to fade with fast recovery

I would personally stick with the oem Rotors considering both are vented,would test them out in the front to see if there is any noticeable difference in stoppping power due to the ceramics vs the semi-metallic oem pads and if so then change the rears out.Z

I apologize if this topic was brought up before,just was curious how many miles are you getting with your original pads,rotors,cause changed my front rotors and pads under warranty at 22k,now over the weekend noticed the car is harder to stop,checked rear rotors and felt some uneven groves which leads me to believe its the rears now going,getting a little fustrated,cause car has 23k on her and over 4k was on long unlimited trips,thanks.Z
