I ran powerstop ceramics on my BMW before I sold it and was not impressed. Screeching so loud my neighbors could hear it inside their homes when I left for work.

No appreciable dust though. That was the upside.

Interesting, every review I read said they were very quite. I am not discounting your experience

I will find out pretty soon

whenever I install a set of brake pads I will apply a thin skin of high heat silicone to the rear of the pad to further reduce the chance of chatter. with the power stop pads I did this also. they are dead quiet on both my Miata and 00 boxy. perhaps this is overkill but a little extra preparation seems to work well for me.
