The front are ceramic the rear are not....as they are not needed.

 

Just confirmed with Chevy and neither the front or rear are ceramic on 06-07 montes. They are semi-metallic.

 

 

Space that's what I was doing searching the web too. I couldn't find anywhere that specifically stated ceramic brakes on monte carlo. Just improved braking system etc. etc.

 

...other than ceramics are the best explanation for the dust-free rims.

 

thats wierd, i'll have to look when i get to work, because the o.e. standard on the 00-05 models is ceramic, so i couldn't see the 06-07 doing any different, its cheaper to do ceramic now anyway ...metalic is more money than ceramic

 

Ceramics were not standard equipment on 00-05 either whiz....I had a 2000 and it did not call for ceramics. Ceramics are not OE standard.

 

never mind, thats what i thought it was, because i dont sell metalic pads here barely, ceramic are cheaper, i sell about 50 sets of ceramic pads to 1 set of semi metallic

i read the wrong line, because underneath the ceramic it says oe but then underneath the metalic it says oe too...lol

Well you have to remember one reason the 06-07s are more powerful, as I stated before, is because they are dual piston calipers on the front now which increases braking.
