Only thing I’ve read is where some of the guys used them on D3/D4 and was supposed to wear the discs out quicker,

Don’t know if there’s any reviews on ebay or amazon for ur landy

ceramic is harder than steel. Your rotors will wear out sooner and then the WTF moment. They are good if you are driving a F1 car. But a semi metallic pad would be alot better. cheaper to replace the pads than rotors

No such thing as a free lunch. If the pads are hard, there won't be much dust, but they are bound to wear the discs more.

30 quid for the TF Disco 2 pads isn't a bad price.
I have Akebono ceramic pads all around. They are very low on brake dust and stop on a dime.

Surprised you can find a dime in Suffolk.

For the UK readers, I might just explain that it is about the same size as a 5p piece!
