I would be surprised if there wasn't a ceramic pad available for this application. I put akebono ceramics on my 97 Saab900 and was really impressed. They took a bit longer to seat in and I found myself in a panic stop before they did. They bit hard enough to slide on the ABS against the limit of traction.:cool: and saved the sheet metal.:D

Wouldn't ya know it that car got totaled this year...rear ended as I stopped abruptly when a yellow light turned red. :mad:

Porterfield.com should have what you need. Dust free great performance short of racing app. Hawk also makes a nice road pad. Good luck.

You can stick with the OEM or use porterfield as advised above.

I have tried Porterfield pads on a different vehicle and found them to be good performers for less dust and longer life than the OEM pads. Make sure you stick with the R4-S (street) compound.
