Does anybody know who, if anyone, sells a ceramic front brake pad for '73 up A bodies? All I can seem to find is Semi-Metallicukeleft: pads. I'd use organic pads if available as another option.
Bendix makes the D84 CQ CERAMIC PAD

If you don't like semi-metallics but are hesitatant about ceramics when cold, I recommend Performance Friction Carbon Metallic brake pads. In my experience, they require more leg than organics or semi-metallics, but they are more resistant to fade than either. Real world wear and durability is excellent on my street car.

No love for the A bodies I see, Oh well, ceramic is the way I go. Now if only they make a ceramic rear shoe, I'd be in business.There isn't one. They don't offer a pad for the '73-up A/F/M/J-body disc brakes.
Just got a set of Bendix ceramic pads. The new part number is RD84. They claim them to be "global ceramic". The blue box says ceramic all over it. 26 bucks.
EBC brakes, apparently makes pads for the 1979 Cordoba (part # DP3678C Red stuff pads switch Summit sell for 103.55 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EBC-DP3678C/ and amazon sells for 98.10 Amazon.com: EBC DP3678C Redstuff Front Brake Pads Chrysler Cordoba 75-79: Automotive ) which we all know that the Cordoba uses the same caliper as the 76 Dusters.
So, anybody ever use EBC brake pad before?
I have the EBC reds on the front with a Viper caliper conversion, they take a while to break in but they are very good pads.
On the back I have a b-body rear with 11x2.5" drums running shoes from these guys...
