I agree with everyone here. Ceramic is the way to go if you want to cut down on brake dust. I have seen a very noticeable difference since I installed mine a little over a month ago

A good point to notice, especially if your pulling a trailer. Otherwise, ceramic pads work great for street use.

Thats good to know, my 08 Limited having white choc painted rims gets a slight film of blackish brown on them. Still on the factory pads, i'll have to get ceramics when these wear out.

I bumped into comments on this sight of people having the same experience I did as far as the back brakes on the 05's wearing out way before the fronts. Don't know if the 08's are the same. I wish I didn't wait so long cause the dust was terrible.

I use Car Quest premium pads, they are very good pads and keep the dust way down
