Hi -- New to the forum. Glad to have found you. Need guidance on front brakes on 03 MPV w/ 65,000 miles. Brakes were done at 40,000 using freshly turned factory rotors and Raybestos premium pads (ceramic). Now getting strong shuddering under braking and noticed deep groves on driver's side rotor. Pass side has a ridge on outer edge, consistent with usual wear patterns, but is otherwise smooth. Did I make a mistake in using ceramic pads? Any other guidance? I plan to do the job ob myself rather than farm to dealer or independent shop that did the work last time.
Thanks
