I know that this is not the place for this question, but I remember seeing a post a few months ago, were someone had listed the manufacturer & p/n for the ceramic brake pads for the PT Cruiser. I'm down in Florida visiting my parents, and am trying to assist my dad in cleaning his rims of all the brake dust. I tried a search for it, but came up with nothing. Any assistance would be appreciated. And, is there such a pad for the rear disc brakes? This message has been edited by SPCL-T on 03-15-2003 at 09:03 AM |

Here's the Raybestos Press Release announcing coverage for the PT Cruiser (as well as multiple other cars at www.Raybestos.com). The short answer is: PGD841QS ================================== For Immediate Release CONTACT: RAYBESTOS® BRAND QUIET STOP™ DISC BRAKE PADS OFFER NEW APPLICATION COVERAGE QUIET STOP™ features a revolutionary friction formulation that provides the quietest braking system; while at the same time, limiting excessive wheel dusting. The QUIET STOP™ line, three years in the making, is made from an exclusive blend of ceramic ingredients instead of iron fibers and steel powders that are commonly found in semi-metallic pads. QUIET STOP™ went through rigorous fleet and vehicle testing to meet durability, stopping distance and noise requirements. “The results were outstanding,” reported Jerry Forystek, director of friction product development for Raybestos. “Brake installers tell us that since they started using QUIET STOP disc pads, their comebacks due to noise have virtually been eliminated,” said Forystek. “In testing our QUIET STOP disc brake pads for noise, performance and durability, we consistently find we beat the competition.” New QUIET STOP™ disc brake pad part numbers introduced are as follows: PGD741QS QUIET STOP™ disc brake pads, which are 100 percent shimmed, slotted and chamfered provide exceptional quality, performance and safety that customers expect from Raybestos®.

I still have not put ceramic on mine but I tried to do it last year. The pads that fit the first PTs did not fit my 2002. I just cleaned up the rims yesterday and so this is a very timely subject. I will check into this new number and see if they fit. I went to AutoZone and it says the 2002 pads are not yet available but the 841 number is for the 2001. I would suggest looking at the pads on the car before you remove them and then look at the pads at the car part place while you are still there. Let me know if you find any that fit.

Pretty sure that the 2003 Pt's and the turbo do not have ceramic pads as yet. |

http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/002026.html I knew that Laddie had posted about this but couldn't find it. I just went to KY Motors and they claim that 2001 and 2002 are the same so maybe I just got the wrong ones from Tire Rack. I ordered a set for Sandy's 2001 and will see if they fit my 2002. Won't get them until Mon or Tue. |

Anyone got an update? I put a set on Sandy's 2001 and will try to take a look at my 2002 on Friday to see if they are indeed the same pads. |

I looked at the 2002 pads and they are exactly the same as the 2001, except the edges on the 2002 are beveled. Sorry about the misinformation I posted previously. Last year I was sent the wrong pads by tire rack or parts rack, apparently. I ordered a set of ceramics for my car today. |
