Sometime ago I saw a number of guys go for the group buy. Sounded like a good deal but I wasn't ready to upgrade until I wore out more of my OEM. Then I decided I had enough of cleaning the front wheels just after one evening out around town. I had a plan to take the calipers off to paint, why not go back with something to make it better. So I ended up with these:

Brake Pad Set CERAMIC POSI QUIET SHIMS NEW Front E420 | eBay

Here is a pic after 500 miles of driving around town since I installed them. I have wiped the car down a few times, but never touched the wheels. So far, the product has paid off for me. There is some light colored dust on the wheels, but such an improvement.

edit: I just realized the title says 1000 miles, I don't know why I put that. It is 500 miles
