To anyone that's used them? Do they last any better that the OEM semi-metallic ones? I know that they are a lot quieter than what I had before. I just had my front pair replaced at a local shop, and decided to do the rear-ones myself.

I have had them on both my 94 and 98 Camrys for about a year now (Raybestos). So far I can only tell you there is less brake dust on the front alloy wheels. Too soon (only about 15,000 miles) to tell how long they will last, but I did try the semi-metalic pads first and got so much noise, grinding and grabbing that I switched to the full ceramics.
