Default Ceramic Brakes

Need to replace the pads on my 99 ES, which pads are best just for regular driving? Do I need ceramic brake pads? Or are the cheapy ones from autozone ok?

just get some OEM ones, they are good for daily driving. EBC will give you better performance minus the brake dust like the trd pads

Newbie alert! EBC and TRD pads... No brake dust? Are they ceramic then?

EBC pads are made with kevlar, very little to no brake dust.
TRD pads are semi-matalic, which = LOTS of brake dust (speaking with personal experience, I had HP pads).
