I'm getting ready to put brakes on my truck (55,300 miles) and I was doing a search on here for opinions on ceramic brakes. I HATE brake dust and I tow 3 ATVs on a 1400lb trailer in the mountains here in WV. I think I'll give these a try. A little pricey but if it's from NAPA...I know it'll be good stuff.

 

Thanks for the link.......

I dont know if I have the adaptive 1 or the "napa ultra premium", but they were the most expensive ones, if that helps. They are so good I dont even think about them. 20,000 miles so far and not a single issue, wheels are always clean too.

I love hatfield mccoy trails! My buddy Tom Johnson works for Toyota down there. He lived at Scott Depot, and now at Fraizers Bottom.

Has anyone had any long term experience with these? It looks like everyone loves them, they have the NRS Technology which seems neat.

 

Website: http://www.adaptive1.com/index.html

 

Any experience good or bad would be appreciated!

 

I am a NAPA Jobber. I have had them since their initial release. NAPA from what I heard from the NAPA Brake reps have an all exclusive time period. For the Adaptive one brakes. Basically your inboard and out board pads are of different concentrations of material. You have an more aggressive pad on inboard pad than the out board pad. The less aggressive pad on the outboard allows a cleaner wheel/tire.

 

With that said the hook system that the Adaptive1 has is on all UP (United Premium Pads). CMX, ADO, UP lines.

 

And yes they are QUITE when installed properly. But I exclusively install the CMX line on nearly every thing I put brakes on with the exclusion being heavy vehicles or tow rigs they get metallic.

 

TO GET QUITE BRAKES turn or replace rotors. Also, replace all shims and leave the mystery gooooo's off the pads. Their is enough technology on the back of the NAPA Premium pads that when backed with new anti-rattle clips they will BE QUITE.

I love hatfield mccoy trails! My buddy Tom Johnson works for Toyota down there. He lived at Scott Depot, and now at Fraizers Bottom.

 

 

I'm at Winfield so he's not too far from me....maybe 10 miles or so.

 

My neighbor works for Toyota....I'll ask him if he knows Tom.

 

Yes, hatfield mccoy trails are great but we ride alot in the Braxton county mts.....lots of good trails and water crossings, too.

Just installed these on Saturday... They are great so far, and stop noticeably better than my OEMs when paired with new UP rotors. No noise at all, and no dust so far. Will chime in at regular intervals.
