After bleeding the brakes and breaking in the pads, they work great.
Feels very firm and also has much better modulation. Ceramics work in combination with slotted/ drilled rotors. They don't eat the rotors and run lower temps and good for long rotor life.

How long will the rotors lats?? Do the drills and slots cause any pulsation??

I've been interested in rotors+ceramic pads

drilled i would RARELY recco on a street driven car since most places actually DRILL the rotors, OEMs and brembo all cast the rotors with the holes in them, thereby not reducing their integrity.

and the 2LS i know, comes with ceramic pads from the factory, but im not so sure on 1st gen.

Life of drilled/slotted depends on how you use them. I have 2 other cars with drilled /slotted rotors. 1 has 12k mi. other 4k mi. No pulse or pedal anomalies. rotors don't show any line wear yet. I bought 1 Ceramic set, 1 Kevlar Carbon pads. The total package delivered for Lexus was $338 shipped for Ceramic pads & drilled/slotted rotor. IMO they're worth the money.
P.S I had them chromed LIC

Got most K's on the CLK, pulls down very quick and straight. It has no cracks or stress fractures either. Clean an smooth.

The pads were from Speed Freaks.com out of Portland. Same place I Got Kevlar pads. Rotors came from R1 on ebay

i thought those rotors look familiar . i have R1 Concept cross drill/slotted rotors on my 1995 ls400. I love them, so far no problems and i have the tendency to heavy foot the brakes . they wont wont ship you messed up rotors either. i was wondering what took so long for my order to come in. they explained to me how the rotor was warp and they had to create a new set. im happy with R1 Concepts :] :thumbs:
