so i'll probably be getting some drilled/slotted rotors off ebay. i've read previous posts saying to get some ceramic pads for them. i've also read posts saying to go with OEM pads. I've also read posts that the OEM pads on the car are ceramic pads, but with the brake dust I get, I think the previous owner had them replaced with something else.
So should I leave the same pads on if they aren't worn, or get OEM pads, or get some sort of (aftermarket?) ceramic pads?
thanks fellas

OEM's are ceramic. If you don't like brake dust, get ceramics.

Agreed. Ceramics to also avoid the squeaking noise.

Try your local shops. Don't know about online stores.
