The ceramic pads are better. They dust less and are easy on the rotors. They also stop smoother. I put ceramic on my 02 and the braking was awesome. I know have an 03 and changed the pads to ceramic as soon as i got it. Go with the ceramics. Semi metallic has bits of metal in them that make them rougher on the rotors.....I brought prostop ceramic pads from pep boys for 35.00 dollars....I keep the semi metallic in the rear though.

Hawk HP. There is a group deal on them. I got them. Had them on for about a week now. Best pad I ever used. Quiet, very little dust.

Hawk HPS, not HP. HPS is a daily driver pad...HP+ is a track pad.

btw, the redline deal ended on July 31st.
