    Hey guys,

    I just got my brake pad light and this will be the first time changing them. I want to try ceramic pads, any recommendations?

    Thanks,
    Joel

    Ditto. Since I got Akebono Euro ceramics, brake dust is no longer an issue and also the brakes are less grabby (than OEM) in a good way.

    I like the Akebono, Hawks are another option. I have a new set of generic rear pads for sale. Also have a set of OEM front pads for sale with under 5k miles.

    I'm not 100% happy with my Disc Italia full ceramics...I've had them on for about 2 months now and have to say the rears are great (almost completely dust free) however the fronts start noticeably dusting up after about 2-3 days which is only slightly better than the factory pads.
