Volkswagen Golf Front Brake Pads & Rotors, Metallic or Ceramic?

Jun 04, 2010 by mattd | Posted in Volkswagen

I just got a quote for my 02 VW Golf front brakes, semi metallic rotors and pads for $250, Ceramic for $320. Any thoughts on what material is better (I don't know what my originals were?) and if this is a fair price? I live in Lexington, KY. Thanks.
