I have been running Bosch ceramic pads for about 5 yrs, 40K miles. What I love about them is that I get absoutely NO brake dust on my wheels. They are not for road race or auto X, but great for a street car. I have about 100-150 passes on them at the track so OK for drag racing, just not for road racing.

I buy the $20 set from Kragen.....so cheap you have to have them delivered to your house, 'cause the store doesn't want to have to handle them.

No track time with them at all. They do have some brake dust.

GranSport Pads by Satisfied. Can be purchased at TireRack. They are performance street pads and hoave really good stopping power and low brake dust. They brake a lot better than the oem pads.
