Default Brake pads

Hi

I'm new here and need to ask for some help. I have a TR 2004 z06 7,000 mile and i'm changing the stock rims for a set of chrome c-6 Z06 from Radical wheels. The problem I have is the stock pads dust like crazy and I want to know if anyone uses Ac delco ceramic pads. I have heard that they have minimum dusting compared to stock. I found a set on E-bay compete with shims for $100.99+$9.00 shipping. Our they what I need and is this a good price? I have seem that Fred Beans is a supporting vendor,would they match the price for a members buisness?
I'll have a lot more questions to come hope I don't ask to many dumb one's. So far having a ball with my new toy!!!

Jim

I just put the AC Delco Ceramics on my Z last weekend. You won't see as much dust but, it is still there and lighter in color. I called Fred Beans 2 weeks ago and was quoted something like 150.00 for the pads. I ended up purchasing a set off of Ebay for $96.00 shipped...however, I don't think Fred will match that price.
