Ceramic pads on steel rotors? How’s that work out for you?
So far so good. These are Akebono ceramic pads which feature much less dust but with a bit less bite. Others in the region have commented on their utility.
I will continue to evaluate.

This has been my experience, too. Definitely much less dust.
I actually view the fact that ceramics have less initial bite as a good thing. I like to be able to be able to modulate the brake through a wider range of pressures, and have found the stock, OE (Textar) pads a bit grabby for my taste. Personal preference of course, but I don't equate high initial bite with "performance".

The Textar pads did a pretty good number on the rotors - a 1.5 - 2 mm lip after 65K miles. Not city driving either. I don't care for grabby brakes either.
The wife and I went to a Porsche gathering in Carrollton GA. A nice drive in the Cayman with a cool venue to have a beer and some food. Saw some pretty nice rides! Get out and enjoy those Caymans guys and gals.
@jazztrip How do you like the Sebros so far? I was doing my HPDE checklist this past weekend and I'm just over 50% with a track day this coming Sunday. So I will be looking for new rotors on Monday
I like that the Sebros are slotted but looking for 1st hand report.
I’m not jazztrip but I have Sebros on my car. The OEM rotors significantly faded throughout the day for me and sometimes very randomly which has led to some off roading. The Sebros have never faded on me yet, give much better feel/feedback, and has better stopping power. I’ve only done 7 track days on them and feel that they squeal less than my OEM rotors + pagid yellows.
