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. and saved the sheet metal.

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

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.
