    and oreilly and rockauto both show oem is ceramic. and i get different answers from each dealership in my city. anyhow, i think i'll just go with ceramics and call it a day.

    so let's get this thread back on topic... are the oem pads ceramic or semi-metallic? there seems to be no consensus amongst dealers. same thing with aftermarket parts selectors and auto supply stores.

    so you went with the autozone house brand? let me know how you like them. the warranty is interesting. guy at the store told me that you can exchange them in for a new set when you run them down. something about typical owners not keeping keep their vehicles long enough to go through another set. lol. i read it's not a good idea to mix brakes that "bite" differently, since ceramics brake better. something about possibly upsetting the traction control, abs system, and/or F/R braking bias.

    i have a 2009 lexus rx350 fwd that needs some new pads on the front end. anyone know the pad composition of the oem pads - ceramic or semi-metallic? almost every parts website i've checked seems to show that oem is ceramic. but two local lexus dealers and one toyota dealer tells me they're semi-metallic. i don't know why, but the dealerships sound wrong. lol. anyhow, i don't want to mix the two front to back.
