Default Recommendation for ceramic pads?

Holy break dust! I need some ceramics to keep the dust down. Any thoughts? Hoping to pay under $100 for all four corners...For an '03 n/a 4.2

I use Akebono Pro Act Ceramic Pads from the Tire Rack. Very little dust on my chrome rims.

True, true, I've failed in my mission. The 03 models are a real mess. I would need the VIN to determine the correct brakes. Off the top of my head I think the two choices are for 300mm or 320mm rotors. VIN is the only safe way to know you are getting the correct parts the first time. Why the 03's are so bad about this is a mystery to me.

Sounds good, I'm actually going to do some shopping with auto part stores over the weekend. I'll pm you ken once I get a chance. It's the 4.2, non sports package...

Easy there, Jim-bo. I want to get the right parts. It's amazing how pissed off people get when you send the wrong stuff. (Even when it shows up on time!) Gotta have the VIN and I suggest you do that in a PM. No need to advertise that stuff.

Sorry I never called Ken...I made an offer to someone on ebay not ever thinking they'd accept as it was so low and it was accepted. I'm sure the brand quiet posi is probably inferior to your products. Cheapness was it's own reward in this matter...
