if you just stop and go, or highway daily drive, or just cruise and arent hard on your brakes... id go metalic, even though your stop and go, you still dont get alot of heat in them, because your not stoping from a high speed... imo a high quality semi-metalic pad should serve you well, like the wearever golds or wagner thermoquiets... hope this helps... :thumb:

If you live where its wet and want racing pads i would recommend carbotech racing series pads, they stop like mad however in wet weather wont take the paint off warm damp objects(such as your painted rims)

well, try the wagner brake match up with the ceramic pads. I know that the pads does not contain steel wool or fibers that makes the fitting to the brake smoothly with the ceramic-enhanced friction materials and semi-metallic brake linings.
