Just replaced daughter's fronts with Raybestos ceramics (RockAuto.Com).
VERY EASY. I understand the same pads are carried by NAPA. I had the Raybestos on my '02 - NO DUST. I don't know of any rear ceramic pads, but I used NAPA's best semi-metallic fir the rear disks on my '02, and braking was great.

Pepboys (raybestos) sells a rear ceramic pad blend which I use and they are good! No brake dust at all.

I know that this is an answer to a question that nobody asked, but I would recommend swapping out the stock flex brake hose to the caliper at the same time. Install a set of stainless steel lines. I know it sounds like a small thing but I always to this at the first brake change and it really makes a huge difference in pedal feel. I am getting close to change time on my GT. A

I've had the ceramic pads on for about a month now and they are great. No dusting, no noticable increase in brake noises and a very firm pedal. I replaced the stock rubber hoses with russel braided lines and used the following pad numbers:
Front - Raybestos pgd841qs Rear - Satisfied Pro Ceramic pr658-c Powerslot cyro treated slotted rotors - direct replacement to stock The rear pads are exactly like the stock pads(thinner backplate because of the thicker rotor). The front pads are the same but the Shims, as some people call them, are for the N/A Cruiser. I used my existing Shims with no problem. Just to clarify, shims usually give the conitation of filling in space. Ford uses the term rail clip. These Shims/Rail clips hold the pads on the brake caliper anchor plate with slight spring tension. The N/A shims are not any thicker than the Turbo Shims. They are smaller and will not fit on the Brake caliper anchor plate nor fit around the thickness of the Turbo rotor.
