I had the GM ceramics on my 2008 and they were excellent. I also have Centrex pads(from tire rack) on the 2012 GS and they are also very good. I strongly recommend the GM pads.

There is dust with the 1521's. It's just pale gray so what little dust there is is mush less noticeable. The AC Delco pads with drilled Eradispeed +2 rotors were very noisy and I didn't like the feel of them at all so I took them out after 400 miles and replaced them with Carbotech 1521's. How long to you think it takes to bed a set of pads?

That wasn't too hard to understand was it?
