I put the Zimmermans & PBR ceramics on about 1 month ago & can say that there is no difference in braking performance. In fact, I prefer the Mintex setup due to much less dust.

Tires will make the most improvement, although I would have expected those pads to do something.

I have that setup and I would swear there is less brake dust now <scratching head>.

Did you use the anti-squeel grease on the back of the pads?
