   Think you may have confused your self a bit here. Ceramic brakes as fitted to some high end sports cars or some race cars are something very different. It is a pad and disc combo that also uses dedicated calipers and rotor hubs to fit. That and they cost similar money to what a Saxo did when they where new! You can however get pads with a ceramic compound in them but it is not really that practical for a road car. Though the 406 Brembos should give you more then enough stopping power even with standard pads. If there not you have a problem somewhere down the line.

   You may be able to get ceramic in some brake pads

   CL Brakes carbon metallic pads are what you need.
   The RC5+ compound is your only option for a road car. You will get amazing bite, they are pretty much unaffected by temperature and weather and I love fitting them to my cars.
   If you go for a more race compound you will get too much disc wear as they tend to be very abbrasive at low temperatures.
   
   Not at work today but I think I actually have some of these in stock

    They are just pads, you'll probably only want the fronts?

    Lmao green stuff pads?! Come on
    
    If the CLs above are too expensive then just get standard pads and discs.
