The 2 most popular brands of ceramic pads for this car are Akebono and Rotex Gold. Both are great choices. I went with Akebono's and have not seen a speck of break dust since. With the OEM pads, the front wheels would be nasty after a day of driving.
Goodluck, and welcome to the forum.
That is a real good suggestion. I had that problem big time with my Sebring. The front alloys were always black. The dealership would not change to other pads, so I went to my local Midas (I know the guys there well) and had them do the brakes. No more dust now.
Unfortunately, I live in an apartment now, so I can't really work on my cars anymore.
