My experience with ceramic pads was on the front of a K1500 pickup; and it was...20-ish years ago. I suppose (and hope) that ceramic pads are better now.
I HATED those pads. Poor stopping, needed extra pedal effort--but they wore forever. Which is kinda too bad. I put up with those pads way longer than I should have.
The last few sets of pads I've bought have been Performance Friction brand, "carbon metallic" composition. Made in USA, in one of the Carolinas.
