where to get ceramic brake pads?
I thought those should be available many places like Autozone, Napa... I went to each one and checked. They only have semi-metallic or metallic ones. Which should I go for? My front brake gives out a ton of dust.

Check out www.placeforbrakes.com in Miami.These people are very efficient.Their service is honest.I got Ceramics from them and upgrades for brake lines also.They are out of Miami.I believe the shipping is free.-Akebono(OEMs) creamics are avalable.Ernesto

www.importrp.com.. been using them for years. just put hawk ceramics all around. used to use akebono but for some reason they dont make fronts. either that or they dont make rears. its one of the two.

Thanks guys, I'm going to place my order for the akebono set then. I only need to replace the front anyways. I'm going to replace the pads next week before heading to Canada for vacation.
