are you getting the ceramic ones? anyone know if those are decent performance-wise? the idea of brakes pads that are as good as stock or better but very little break dust is VERY tempting.

I got mine from GearHead in Dunedien. I have the HPS Hawk pads. They work great with my D&S rotors. They do have some brake dust but its at a minimum. It takes about a week and half for the brakedust to become noticable on my wheels. If you have drill or slotted or drilled&slotted don't use ceramic brakepads. The ceramics will give you a spongy feel to your pedal. Here's the three they offer for street performance. Link

I think I spent $36 for the fronts and $32 for the rears. I'm sure the price changes depending on the your make and model.
