Question Need new brake pads... any suggestions?

I've got a 2001 R/T with 17" rims. I've got to replace the brakes and I can't choose between semi-metallic and ceramic. Anybody got a recommendation on which way to go? I drive mostly highway and interstate, but do a lot of stop-and-go around town. I tend to drive rather fast and I push brakes pretty hard.

Ceramic would be the better bet, but for you, b/c you have a more powerful car, I would strongly suggest factory pads. The cost around $100 for all four wheels, but you won't have to worry about that much brake dust and it's quiet, not like some aftermarket brake pads.

Any place to get those besides the dealer?

Try Autozone, I got a set of Ceramics for my 94 LHS last year they were around 40 for the front pads. Heck of a difference.
