I'm doing the 11.75" rotor upgrade but ended up with slider type calipers, and now I'm having trouble finding decent pads for them.

I'd like to find some ceramic, but can't find them. I'm using a 79 Diplomat Salon Cop Car to search and am coming up empty.

Anyone find some good pads for these type calipers?

Thanks

I agree Wagner ceramics on mine.They are the pin type and probally harder to find than the slider ones.Ill never go back to the OE style pad even though I had Bendix best on.The ceramics are great.My kid got mine at Advance and his cost was 26 bucks.Rocky

I've found two different types, but not the ceramic, which is what I'm looking for.

There are plenty of ceramics for the pin type, much more common apparently. There are even the Hawk brand for the pin type, but not the sliders.

If anyone else has had any luck or has a source, please let me know.

I need pin-style ceramics. Looked on Adavancd and Autozone websites but neither show ceramics (looking under 1976 Cordoba).

Bendix PN D39 is a ceramic disc brake pad that should fit.

D39's are pin-style - WILL NOT FIT slider style calipers. Go to Rockauto ... if nothing else there will be pictures. Regardless, ceramics are available for either slider or pin styles.

The ceramics on the 65 are great.I had Wagners best on before.They were OK but the ceramics have no dust,stop straight even at 120.Ive used them pretty good and will use them again when these wear out.Looked for the box the other day and couldnt find it.Guess one of my sons tossed it even though I told them not to touch it.Rocky

I tried Raybestos ceramics on my daily driver and that lasted about 80 miles before I couldn't stand it anymore, I hated them so much I ended up throwing them away. In their place went generic semi metallics which I like much better even though they do make some nasty brake dust.

So I guess I prefer organics or semi metallics myself

I second that emotion. AutoZone's bottom-of-the-line Semi-mets have amazing fade resistance (once cooked / bedded in), and cost pocket change. The "better" ones are nowhere nearly as fade resistant.

Don't forget to bend the ears for a snug fit.

Rick, I got a set of what I thought was Police Spec semi metalic pin type pads.

Didn't seem anyting special at the track.

Did glaze my rotors though.

Do these number correspond to Cop Pads? I need to dig up the box with the numbers on it.
