Regarding rattle clips
Will,
That's a bummer. Personally I would find a set, because they are there for a reason. As I remember, I reused the original clips because the ones they supplied did not fit as well. That maybe the reason they fell out. Can you find your old ones and re-install them? Quick before the trash gets picked up,otherwise Brake Labs could send you another set.

I had reused the old ones, so I dug through the trash and found the new ones and installed them today.
They seem fairly snug. Hopefully they stay on this time!

Always save reusable parts for a while
Lucky! Now you're an expert. I usually save the reusable parts for a while just to be safe and trash them when I forget what they were for.Good thing your're in FL, yesterday 2" of snow and this morning 17 F here which is not so nice for brake service.

Great info in this thread. I need to replace my back brakes at 20k, but I am just doing the pads and not the rotors. Figure I will do the fronts as well while I am at it.
Can you guys give me an idea of how you like the ceramic pads? Low dust i assume and how do they brake? Did u lose stopping power? Thanks in advance.

My experience in the past several weeks are the ceramic pads produce about 1/4 the brake dust of the stock pads. With the stock pads, driving primarily to/fro work (10 miles each way city driving) my wheels would look like I drove through mud after about 3 or 4 days...
Stopping power seems unaffected. Don't know how they would react to fade on a track, but certainly good for street use. They are also less grabby than the stock pads.

Check the write up in the "How TO" Section regarding brakes.
