I'd go with ceramic, even a less costly brand. Basically no dust, means long wear and nicer looking tires. Usually cost a little more though....especially from the dealer.
NAPA had a variety of grades in ceramic.
Or wash once a week!

I swapped out all my brake pads all around with new Duralast Gold series pads. They stop great but I gotta say they throw out more brake dust than I've ever seen!? In one week i can have a set of black Moabs up front and silver in the rear. The rears do not dust at all so I'm thinking about just swapping out the fronts with a ceramic, any suggestions? |

Adaptive One pads from NAPA give me almost zero brake dust. I've always heard that Duraglast pads were garbage. |

I believe the Liberty comes with ceramics from the factory. It's probabaly best to go with them |

I hate ceramics. My set dusted like h***, had less stopping power, and wore the rotors faster due to the harder material. I'll never touch a ceramic pad again. I paid $60 for that junk at AutoZone too, what a waste of money. |

Wagner Thermo Quiet have a life time Warranty and will replace them if they wear out. All you have to do is keep the reciept. Plus by what i can tell so far from my buddies mini i put them on they are quiet and work great. But i still prefer EBC myself low dust and quiet and stop like you dropped and anchor behind you. |
