Has anyone tried using ceramic brake pads on their 250? will ones made for the 350 fit on a 250? What are the pro's and con's when using ceramic pads? I remember when top gear reviewed the slr, a reviewer said that he couldn't feel the ceramic brakes when braking, as opposed to semi-metallic. Is this expected in all ceramic pads?
The only one I've found is the EBC red stuff ceramic pads.

Even though part #s are out for the EBC Red Stuff, I called around and no one has them in stock. There is one big internet wholesaler who said they have it in stock. But I bought stuff from them before and it was a bait and switch tactic they used on me.
I'm waiting until Akebono comes out with their ceramic pads. The rear pads are available now, but fronts aren't available until Q1 2007. Or maybe the Lexus TSB in Canada will happen in the US.
