Brake Pad Question
I'm going to be getting some drilled/slotted rotors soon and wanted to replace my brake pads at the same time. I want to go with something that is VERY low on dust but also is quiet. I heard ceramics were good for this but I really don't know much about the different types. Anybody got a good suggestion on what I can use?

pads
I am using ceramics from Auto Zone $38.00 for front. All is OK and happy with reduced dust. Car is daily driver and only sees track at Lone Star Corvette Calsic at Texas Motor speedway.

Raybestos Quiet Stops will work well.

I have the AC Delco Pads and Rotors and I very happy with them. Just a recommendation, paint the rotors before installation.

I think dimples are better than drilled (and their cuter!).

Been using Hawk HPS pads on mine and they work very well - low dusting on the wheels.
