Default F Type "R" Ceramic brakes

When I ordered my "R" I was going to order the ceramic brakes. Mostly because I liked its looks and it lessened the weight by 46lbs. I asked the dealer if they squeaked? He called Jaguar and told me at times when there cold and even when warm. Does anyone have these brakes on there F-Type? If so can you give me feed back.
THANKS. Vince

I have the ceramics and they do not squeak. They look fantastic and they do not dust like cast iron brakes. I have had ceramics on several Ferrari's and a Lambo and never had noise issues.

I've had ceramics on two Porsches now and they did not squeak until after a few days on the track. My porsche tech buddies say squeaky ceramics are totally normal on Porsches. If yours stay squeak free even after some heat cycling that would be awesome.

I wish my V8S had ceramics.

I love my carbon ceramics. Look great, stop great, no noise or dust! Only have 650 miles on them, though...
