Get ceramic brake pads. They dust much less than organic or semi-metallic pads.

If youre just looking for pads, I would not go with ECS. I dont know if they are a sponsor anymore, but www.getcoolparts.com has a good selection on pads. Im pretty sure they have ceramic, and their prices will beat ECS's. Plus you get free shipping with a $49+ order. That perk alone is enough to stay away from ECS's high shipping costs for such a simple thing like pads.

You used to be able to get 5% off with a coupon code, but it doesnt work anymore- which is why im not sure if they are a sponsor anymore. Their prices are good regardless.

yes, deff. go with the ceramic and spend the extra money, i had both front rotors cracked on my car when i bought it used, so i put cross drilled and slotted rotors on there, and then put the semi-metalic pads, dont get me wrong they stop, really nice!! but once in a while they will squeek...it pisses me off...it is because of the composites in the semi-metalic pads that make them squeek, and when i pull up to a light with a clean sharp A4 with x-drilled and slotted rotors, then they squeek...i can imagine what people say...i hate them!!! CERAMIC is the way to go!! you'll thank me later!!
