Have basically a rebuilt/new system. Used the standard pads from AR. The dust is crazy.
Has anyone used the ceramic and had better luck? Or any other?

Whenever I need a brake job on any of my vehicles I insist on Akebono if they're available. They are soooo much less messy compared to stock BMW or Tacoma. Not sure of they are made for Fiat or not though.

Geo, this is one of those questions where if you get 8 replies, you'll have 10 different opinions. :lol:

I have used semi-metallic pads in the past, they seemed fine, and I am not particularly brand sensitive. But, I tend to be a pretty stodgy driver. To my knowledge, I have not used ceramic pads.
