Ceramic pads for the street
I have had enough of brake dust and want to get some ceramic pads for driving my car on the street. I have a 2019 GTS with satin center locks and they always look dirty and it drives me crazy. I got ceramics when I had a BMW and they worked great so far as dust goes but took a little time to get used to as they didn't grab too well when cold. Suggestions?

I was looking into this myself recently, and in an older thread lots of folks recommended Centric Posiquiets. I don't have experience with them, but was thinking of trying them out. I'm also tired of brake dust, the 991 OEM pads are pretty dusty.

EBC Red Stuff is pretty good. I had front pads for a while and finally released rear pads as well. I just bought them but haven't installed them yet since not many like to work on center lock wheels.

I have the Centric pads. They did dramatically reduce dust. They are semi metallic, not ceramic. Their ceramic pads are not available for the 991. They have slightly less initial bite than stock but I think the trade off was worth it. As a bonus, they only cost around $50 per set.
