Has anyone used the 'Ultra' ceramic pads by remsa?

Thinking about using them on my nana daily Falcon...

Havent used the Remsa, but if they are a proper ceramic race type pad you dont want it on a daily, you would never get the temps up high enough to obtain the best braking.

I use a BNT brand called "C-Plus" which is a ceramic mix\formula

Currently on Legacy GT-B sedan slightly hotted up (181 kw), slows it down well, minimal brake dust and work well from cold.

I was going to get Resma's but couldnt find any that fitted, C-Plus was better price anyway.

They're not a race pad, they're an equivalent to the C- Plus/Repco TQ pad. Low dust and reasonable wearing

Picked some up today - as well as some new rotors as the current ones are pretty worn.

Can't bed in new pads on new rotors though can you? The rotors need to go through some heat cycles first?

What happens when you buy a new car?

Can't bed in new rotors with old pads, make of that what you will

Do you think it rolls off the end of the production line with used rotors and pads or new ones?

I just read what the pad packaging says and go with that. Last 4 cars I did this with seem to stop fine. All were new pads + rotors.

What does the pad box say?

Ive owned lots of cars and done new rotors and pads on all bar 1. Never had an issue. Regular daily driving will bed them in a week or so of heat cycling, just dont track day it and cook them.
