Question Ceramic brake pads

Anyone have suggestions for ceramic pads? I am looking for less dust.

Anyone know if mixing pad compounds is ok front to rear? Thinking about some ceramics up front and leave the oem rears (minimal wear on rears) or do I need to replace both sets?

Hoping to stay under $60 so Hawks are probably out. Looking at Posi

Thanks

Spend a few extra bucks and get HAWK Ceramic or EBC Ceramic...check out discount web sites like placeofbrakes.com they have great deals...and I run HAWK Ceramic up front and OEM in the rear ...no problems at all

I put hawk's on the front of my 2004 fx4 and they did a great job.
I will do the same on my 2011 when the oem's wear out.

Second that one. I have them on 2 of my other vehicles and have probably a dozen other folks using them. They can be noisy sometimes but that is not indicative of braking performance. They flat out work very well.

I have the EBC green stuff pads on my 2012 F150 FX4. It produces more dust than stock pads.
