Whats makes ceramics so important to you? They are just regular pads with a bit of ceramic dust mixed in.

I have heard good things about carbotech brand pads, on the track, not sure about sreet use. They are a bit pricey too.

In street use I can't think of any good reason not to use the OEM low-dust pads.

Obviously you've never used the OEM low dust pads then. Because yes they really are low dust. And ceramic too.

I have the OEM low dust pads and I have to say, they are pretty good and pretty low dust.

If you just HAVE to have aftermarket, EBC Redstuff are great pads...VERY low dust and easy on your rotors.
