Ceramics suck. Stay away from them. Dont look too hard at racers data either cause racing is extremely hard on pads and requirements are quite different than street needs. Racers also dont give pads time to break in properly so they kill pads that otherwise might do a great job on the street.

Axis metalmasters. about 55$. stop fantastic. moderate dust.
EBC green 65$ (pep boys-lifetime gaurentee) Stop almost as good as metalmasters. very little dust. ions better than ceramic.
Hawk pads are at pep boys 75$ should work like the metalmasters. they have more mettalic than the ebs greens comparred side by side.

I would recommend Axxis or Hawk street pads if you are looking for something high performance for the street. Stay away from ceramic, they don't dust, but they will be harder on your rotors. I would never buy EBC, they are garbage.
