I got OEM pads and the brake dust is ridiculous. They are about 2k miles old and I am looking now for these akebono pads you guys speak about. The brake dust is sick! 20 miles and my wheels are wiped out! Are they the ceramic ones I want?

They were ceramic, had no dust at all, wheels were always clear and shiny

Yes, front and rear. I paid too much? Either way, if I paid $30 too much then no biggie. I just cant handle the sickening brake dust. I just finally got these pads to stop squeaking too and I am sure that the ceramic ones will squeak but hopefully they will stop sooner or later...the brake dust is just unbearable!

No he thought you paid for 1 set rather than 2.

I did write a set but I meant complete set. Yeah I guess the fronts were $90.
