What did you pay for them? Do they dust less? Are they better at stopping than semi-metallic? Anyother thoughts on them??? My stock pads are shot at 34k and need to get new ones.

I'm using Ceramic on front and back. Little to no dusting on both. Fronts set me back $40 and back's were $50 (weird, don't ask me why). They stop a small bit better, but nothing incredibly noticeable, they are incredibly quite though.

Check local dealers-Hometown dealers. I got insanely cheap ceramic's for my 94 through a mom-and-pop store. Greatly reduced dust.
