Ceramic Brake Pads
Has anyone actually switched over to Ceramic brake pads?? How do they perform and have you seen a reduction in brake dust.
I have seen that Hawk offers ceramic what do you guys think. The brake dust is driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember hearing from a member on here that the breaking performance isn't exactly the same. For one, you have to push the brake pedal in further to get the same braking power as you would from pushing it in quite a bit less with stock brake pads.
