Ceramic pads v. non ceramic pads.

The ceramic pads (EBC Red Stuff) are on the front. So much less dust than the non ceramic:

If am not wrong, In order to optimal-use Ceramic Pads, you need to have the discs adapted with the pads
ceramic pads work best with a certain mix of metal discs
What you have might work fine but is not optimal
I will soon switch pads but will buy them with the associated discs
