Wagner produces a severe duty ceramic disc pad for some applications (suv, truck, and some cars). We have installed some on a few customer's vehicles...

No squeal, no dust... very pricey, though (over 100 bills for a front set, most applications)

...they are out there, not sure if Raybestos makes em, or Bendix

100% sure on the Wagner's though


NEVER heard of porcelain disc pads... (I never know!)

I have been on vacation for 6 months now and will be going back soon, to brush up on all that stuff (I need to)...

<edit>.... I have a Boker (knife) with a ceramic/porcelain blade. Maintains the edge much better than any metal (D2, M2, 440C, ATS34, 154CM, just to name a few). BUT, the obvious trade off is the material, which is VERY fragile (DO NOT DROP!!!) ....anyhow
