Tired of brake dust cleaning?

Anyone install ceramic brake pads yet? I cannot find a company that makes ceramic pads for this vehicle. If anyone done this. post what kind of brakes you got.

Thanks

The dust from the stock pads is certainly epic. I haven't replaced the pads (yet) but I did apply some Wheel Wax, which has helped keep them cleaner between washings and easier to clean when I do wash them. Greg East

Might sound daft, but if ceramic pads don't make dust, does this not mean they are harder and will wear your (expensive) brake discs out faster??

Akebono claims their pads do not wear rotors out any sooner then OEM pads. So far 22K miles, an d 1/2 way through the pads
