ceramic pads suck.
does that help?
unless you are raw-******* your car, or otherwise for track use, i would go with something that will save your rotors. brake pads are much cheaper than rotors.

If so, just bite the bullet and get HP+. The dust makes your wheels look like you painted them gun metal so you could view it as a good thing. You definitely won't be upset with the grip.

Very good for low dust, bad when they heat up. If you do HARD driving pass on these, for the avg person once ina while spirited run they are fine. They were downright scary once I built the engine they would fade very easily. Now I run pads that bite like a **** and dust like crazy, I'll take that anyday.
