I bought Duralast Gold Ceramic pads as a temporary solution at one point and liked them a lot. They would really bite when they got warm during autox.

Later I went to a cheap ceramic pad/slotted rotor combo. The ceramic pads with this kit did not perform adequately in cold weather, and it was terrifying slamming on the brakes from parkway speeds and getting nothing for 2+ seconds before they started to bite. I would expect this from a race pad, but a race pad they were not.

I swapped back to AC Delco blanks and non-ceramic Brembo (discontinued) pads and probably won't touch it for a while.
