absolutely not, the gold calipers are full ceramic brakes, only replace those with ceramic pads. as far as i am aware no one aftermarket makes pads for the gold calipers so you will have to go oem. also dont quote me but i think the pads are a different size too

Actually only the Front rotors are carbon ceramic and the rears are steel rotors.
The OEM part number for your front brake pads is: 0004205800
The OEM part number for your rear brake pads is: 0004203700. This is the same as cars with the red brake calipers since yours has steel rotors like all the rest of them do.

Make sure you look for the front pads for the "Ceramic Disc". The rear pads use the ones for the "Iron Disc; Red Calipers".
They manufacture Centric, StopTech, C-Tek and Posi-Quiet pads. For the street, I use the Posi-Quiet brand on my cars. Have never used them for a Carbon Ceramic brake system though.
