Centric Ceramics are pretty decent for the price.

What price point do you want to stay under?

If you go to Autozone and just get what they have, they have a lifetime warranty on both parts so you can't go wrong there.

I have the duralast semi metallic pads. They were about 20.00 and are pretty good but a little dusty. I will be replacing them with ceramic's very soon.

I'm curious if you also use the EBC USR slotted rotors?.. I'm going to do my brakes/paint calipers this week. I bought the EBC greenstuff pads with the USR slotted rotors. I heard that the redstuff pads are really aggressive(too aggressive) for daily drivers. Is that true?
