How many of you switched to ceramic brake pads?

Replace brake pads for ceramic Pads? What are the pro and cons? Thanks for your input.

I looked into getting ceramic pads for my 2SS, and was told they're not available for the SS, but they are available for all the other Camaro models ????

I'm running the hawk HPS+ pads and love the stopping power. They do sqeaul a bit when they are not warmed up.

I am running Hawks, lots less dust. Clean my wheels now about once a month. But they do squeal from time to time.

I've been running with the Hawk Ceramic pads on my 2SS for 38,000 miles. Greatly reduced bake dust, occasional squeal but not very often and equal stopping power to the original pads.
