I've been running Napa Ceramic pads for over a year and have driven them both street and autox - couldn't be happier. Low dust component and good stopping power - of course I upgraded the front brakes at the same time so I can't say for sure if the pads or bigger rotors were the primary influence.....but I'm happy with their performance.

I've got NAPA and Raybestos on my cars. I won't use anything but ceramic on street cars anymore. You'll love them. I'm sure Bendix would be fine too.

I liked the Performance Friction Z rated pads. Kinda noisey when coming to a hault... but once warmed up they stopped REALLY well :yesnod:
