How far in terms of mileage useage? Fair enough given your car is a/t and the bang of the buck performance of the Metal Kings,

you have to drive really hard for them to eat into the rotors. worst thing about metal kings is the dust.

for the most part, bendix works great. performance and fade wise, not so good if you really puch the car.

Not all Akebono pads are ceramics, you have to specify that you want ceramics or else they're just going to give a regular bi-metallic or even organic. Thats what I have on all my vehicle (97 Quest, 01 Frontier & 01 Sentra) and so far so good with almost 50K miles, it still have more than 50% of its pads and the rotor is clean as a baby's bottom.
