what pads for PowerSlot Cryo-Treated Rotors?
 

2001 SSEI

the installation sheet recommends severe duty semi-metallic brake pads such as hawk performance brand.

any reason to not run ceramics?

what is my best option and from where?

I'm running Raybestos Quiet-stop Ceramics on mine. I love 'em.

Just make sure your REAR brakes are up to snuff. Adjusted, and new drums/shoes. Weak rear brakes can over-work fronts, and warp rotors. Uneven rotor/lug torque can too.

With all this considered, I'm very happy. Break your rotors in just like they tell you.

I got the same rotors as you and Im running Ceramic pads cause I didn't want the brake dust.
I am happy with them, but the hawks mite bite and stop better with some dust ;)

Don't missunderstand, alot of people here are using ceramic pads with good results. You can't argue with success.

There are good semi-metalic pads that do not dust much more than ceramics and will hold up better to enthusiastic driving of light track use.
