I used Akebono ceramics on another car for the street and loved them. Good bite and no dust.

Unfortunately, neither will qualify as inexpensive.

If my car needed brakes, I'd go with Carbotech's street compound (don't plan to track this car). I've used Carbotech pads extensively on my MR2, and they are very good pads. I've got a set of Akebono pads on my wife's 330xi, and those have worked well.
