Default C4 Non-Metallic Brake Pads

I cannot find vendors online that sell the title description. Every thing seems to be semi-metallic or metallic. Where can other than a dealership purchase the non-metallic. Specifically my car is a 1992 base model.

Thanks in advance

I'm running Hawk ceramic pads that I got from Summit Racing.

Friction is what gives you the stopping power, metal pads give better braking with minimal brake pedal effort.
Some basic disc friendly brake pads may slow disc wear but require a lot of pedal pressure, go for high metal or ceramic.
