Default Ceramic brake pads

Hi all,

Back in May I inherited my fathers 96 VDP with 21K on it which had been garged since new. I love the car and only take it out of the garage on nice days and have put 4K on it now. It looks like it just rolled off the floor and I try to keep like that, however, I have never seen sooo much brake dust in my life. Within a couple days after scrubbing the wheels they are covered??? I don't know if it's because they're the original pads or what, but if someone could post a link for reasonably priced ceramic pads it would be greatly appreciate!
Also, is there any special tool needed for changing them?

Thank you,
Joe

I and others have been very happy with Akebono ceramics. Great function and zero dust.

No exotic tools needed.


Cheers
DD
