[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 435316, member: 18789"] If you don’t like the metallics, the ceramics will likely be worse. Ceramics give a spongy feel, in general. You probably have divots in the knuckle ears that need to be welded back in and ground smooth. The knuckle material is too soft and was a poor choice for pads sliding on them. Then, you need good pads. Good pads on messed up knuckles will do no good because that will destroy the pads and they will never work right with divots. So fix the divots and then I’d say call Blaine at BMB for his pads. Expensive, yeah, they work, also yeah, very well. I wouldn’t bother with the booster, master or anything else until you’ve tried that. If you can’t weld the divots I bet Blaine will be willing to ship you a set of already fixed knuckles and then you can ship yours back to him to replenish his stock. He is very helpful in ways like that. [/QUOTE]
