Hot deal for Camry/Avalon owners who wear out the back pads, eh?
Pads for the front of my mom's Malibu were under $15 after rebate so green for you, even if none of my cars qualified. Click OP's link, go to the Make Sure It Fits box, and view similar products that fit my vehicle. Filter the list for made by Monroe and look for the word ceramic.
I am yet to receive my rebate from April. They are giving me a hard time. If someone can provide a link, PM, or email to the rebate form, I will appreciate it.

btw..got a set eariler for around $-16 bucks (after rebate)..
i did this back in April 2010. I bought two and only received $15 for one of them instead of $30 for two. I gave them a call and they noticed the error and got another check for $15 within 2-3 weeks. So im satisfied overall. Good deal!
i got these last year and got the rebate w/o any problems. the pads started to squeak after a few months and the squeak is still there but comes and goes intermittently. i had the rotors turned when i put in the pads and i used the anti-squeak compound behind the pads. these are the only pads i have ever installed in 30+ yrs of driving that have ever squeaked.
fwiw, i installed these on a 2001 toyota sequoia. i'm going to replace the pad because the squeak is pretty embarrassing at times.

I have the same exact intermittent squeaking problem. If any car buffs know a solution to this I'd really appreciate you sharing. I won't ever buy these pads again, even if they pay me.

I believe the squeak is becuz you installed ceramics and didn't upgrade the rotors. If you're planning on using stock rotors I read not to use ceramics.
If you don't get any results for Monroe Pads when looking up your vehicle, follow the link below to look up your part number, and then go back to Am@zon and do a search for it. It seems that Am@zon carries a lot of Monroe Pads that aren't linked properly to the vehicles.
It's also worth pointing out that Wagner has rebates on their brakes, too. DIYer's get $15 for front or back brakes, or $30 for both. If you get them from a shop and have them installed, you get the $30 + $20 for labor.

If you're planning on using stock rotors I read not to use ceramics.i did have a friend tell me the same thing, but i read the reviews for the ceramic pads before i got them and everyone seemed happy with them as direct replacments for their oem pads. those with the squealing/squeaking problem seem to be in the minority so i guess i was just unlucky. i've had my pads in for about 15k miles and when i have some time i'm going to switch bach to metallic pads. i wanted to give ceramic pads a try because i thought they would be dust free but they are not. they generated slightly less dust than the oem pads but the dust seem harder to wash off, maybe because it was a lighter color and harder to see.
