Does anybody know the Part No. for ceramic brake pads. My Dealer says they don't make them. I am tired of the dust. I have a 2007 coupe with the F55

Your dealer is not looking in the right place. The ceramics are available from the dealer but are marketed under something else name wise...not sure if it's AC Delco, Delco Remy or another reconized GM brand name but I'm sure someone else can clarify that info.

I have the slotted rotors with that came on the 2007 when you ordered the F55 ride package. So would I use the Z51 pads or the other?
Thank you

I have an 05 with F55. More than likely you will require the Z51 type. Call Gene at Fred Bean he will give you the correct part #.
