Question brakepads???

I just got all 4 powerslot slotted rotors and I need 2 know which kind of pads r good and won't fuckup the new rotors. I was told organic but that will defeat the performance of the rotors then I was told ceramic? Does any1 know about ceramic brake pads and would they do what I want. Need help

The Semi metallic pads are quieter and also don't retain the brake dust like OEM. You are doing the right thing by upgrading instead of using oem pads

I have heard terrible terrible things about EBC from many people. I'd stay away.
