I have used Ceramic pads on my Corvette's in the past. They are nice because they don't produce a lot of brake dust, and they are not noisey. They do tend to wear a little quicker from my experience but that might just have been the way I was driving. Anyway, I will be the first to recommend them. 
Do those pads come with new sensors?? or will you be buying those seperatly? If so, from where?

Limited Availability of Ceramic Pads
Not all "aftermarket" and certainly not all original equipment manufacturers have complete coverage for all makes and all models with the ceramic pads yet. Most brake companies have only been primarily supplying ceramic product where ceramic came as original equipment. Ceramic is NOT the "end all" pad for every application, but it certainly offers many answers to many pad issues: lower dusting, no break-in period required, and less fade. Akebono Brake Corporation does have a link where you can determine if they have a product for your particular application. http://204.244.250.73/cgi-bin/catyea...I=AKBONOAKBONO Their website can also help you see if ceramic is actually right for your vehicle.
