I just re-ordered my second set of "quiet" performance pads from R1 Concepts - been really impressed with their performance and longevity.

I would say any ceramic pads you can find will satisfy you're braking needs. I've replaced the rear with Auto Zones finest, Duralast gold ceramic (cheap) and I haven't had any dust or squeeks so far (thats about 8000 miles)

Posi-Quiet are pretty good. I had them on my TC with R1 Concept Premium Rotors. The Posi-Quiet have no break in period as well.
