I went with the Raybestos Ceramic pads. Better stopping than OEM, less dust. Look on RockAuto...

Tons of thanks to those of you who suggested the Duralast CMax brake pads. I installed them on the front (easiest pad change I've ever done) and ran them for a week - after which I noticed the front rims were absolutely clean and the rears were the familiar bronze color. Last weekend I changed the rears too. For a total of about $100, my headaches are gone. Thanks!

I recently put them on the rears on mine, going on the front when needed as well, glad you are happy.

Dave, the fronts are easy as pie to change - you don't even need to remove the calipers.

After three months, I will say that the Cmax pads have been worth the meager investment. Virtually no brake dust at all - wish I'd have done this a long time ago.

Best brake pads for street use I've used.

Bringing this back up. I just picked up a set of the EBC slotted rear rotors for my car. Is it true ceramics cause rotors to warp quicker? I want to run the Cmax pads, but also do not want to ruin my new rotors. Because my stock pads cause sooo much dust on my silver SVEs
