I tried some premium ceramic brake pads when I was frustrated with problems with semi-metallic brake dust. I settled on Satisfied carbon ceramic pads which were amazing but the company went out of business. So I went with the Napa Adaptive 1 pads which don't bite as much but certainly reduce dust and perform well. if not a big initial bite. I then tried the Akebono pads which were very dust free but didn't have the power for a heavy car, especially for towing. I now use these Powerstop Z36 pads. I have to say I'm VERY happy with the grip and performance. Outstanding performance even when towing a trailer. I can stay with them.
