SlickGt1 - Just to confirm you have stock brakes?
I was just thinkin -- Becuase you have a black GS, maybe its tough to see the dust on the car, what color are your wheels(dark or light, my are light) also as I have a diamond pearl while GS - u see every little spec or whatever.............
Thanx so much.

I just placed an order with Carson Toyota for a set of Rotora slotted rotors with Axxis Ultimate pads all the way around and they should be here early next week. I have a silver GS with silver wheels, so brake dust isn't as apparent as it would be on a white car, but I still notice things like that. After I put them on and let them break in a bit I'll report back with my findings. I ALMOST went with the EBC Red Stuff but decided to save on the shipping and get the pads from Carson for this round. Next time I need pads I'll probably go with the EBC Red Stuff to get a good comparison between the two. The Axxis Ultimates are about $40 cheaper when doing all four corners, so I guess that's a plus! 
I'll be sure to let you guys know!

) and I got rid of the ultimates after a couple of months. Anyway, maybe your experience will be different. Good luck!

I've had 6 sets of pad since I upgraded to SupraTT setup 40k miles ago. I've used stock/TRD/Hawk/EBCGreen and EBC red. So far the EBC red is the least dust. TRD and Hawk HPS were the worst

jacob , i see you did get the new red ceramics , have you gotten on them as yet , for what i find the harder you brake and the more times you brake to more grippier they get , they bite hard and dont fade

Ed, I have installed EBC Red for 2 weeks now. You're right, these ceramic pads do need some warm up to get grippier. The beauty of these pads are the dust is white and almost invisible while the EBC green I used to have emits black dust.

Sorry it took so long to update guys, but I kinda forgot since my car has been gone. I got the brakes the day before I had to be at SRT, so I slapped 'em on and headed out east just hours later. So I have absolutely nothing to report since I didn't even get the brakes broken in on the highway, I barely did any braking the whole way since I left from Indiana at about midnight. Maybe once I get the car back in late July / early August I can give a good update on the new brakes, but I think that'll probably be the last thing on my mind at that time... 
Not much I can say about them besides that they looked better than the stock rotors, but that's a given!

Well...i replaced my brake pads awhile back...got the wrong friction material i guess...so i switched to Brake Best premium from O'reilly's...had them on for about 3 weeks now...I'm very sastisfied for an oem pad and they cost around 38 dollars. virtually no dust

ahh i noticed u read my old thread about wagner ceramic pads....
well its been over a year now and i upped to 20" like a few months after i installed the wagner pads...i still have plenty of pad left to go... i also changed my rears about 2-3months ago with wagner pads as well.
i think im going to stay with wagner pads untill i get a BBK and the high disk wheel combo... BUT that looks unlikely for some time to come.
