My understanding is that they last quite a bit longer than the standard organic OEM pads and are much cleaner (i.e. not as much black powder crud as other pads). Just how much longer they last I don't know. Mine are lasting a long time at the moment because I have yet to install them. The first set I put on is sintered metal and is lasting quite well. How ceramics stack up against sintered metal pads is yet another question. I'm sure there's a lot of info out there in the cybersphere on the subject. I'm doing it the personal way. My OEM pads needed replacing somewhere between 3000 and 3500 miles. My sintered metal pads have about that much on them now and look good still. Ceramics go on next and I'll see how they do. Definitely not controlled nor objective. In fact, completely subjective... but it works for me.
