yep.

it is a harder material than oem... therefore less material ends up on your rims... and the rotex pads last twice as long.

side effects... a rare squeak or squeal.

I heard some don't recommend ceramic because its so hard it really chews up the rotors.

i had rotex gold pads on my X5 for 75,000 miles... and no change of rotors or pads.

they won't harm your rotors... they are a street pad... (but race pads will tear up your rotors).
