I went with the PowerStop ceramic pads. I am happy with them, very low dust, no squealing, and they stop great. Have not done a AX with them, but have done a bunch of back road spirited drives as well as 2 track days just after I installed them and was very happy with the performance

for my 04 S they were around $45 per axle

Did you keep your current rotors on or did you replace them? If you did replace them, what rotors did you go with?

I put them on in February. No squealing at all, except during the break in period, very slight at that. All brakes do that. The quality of the rotor actually looked better then the oem rotors. There is still no rust on the rotors, they look as good as the day I put them on.
