EBC greenstuff not available, what's the next best?

I went to order the EBC greenstuff pads for the front and rear of the 93 and apparently they don't make them for the front on a 93. Tirerack.com among others list that the pads are available but they are ALL wrong. EBC says that there is a PN for them but they have never been manufactured and may never be.
I wanted them because of the small amount of dust and good stopping power. What is a similar brand/style that I could look for?

I don't know about brand names but I've always had good luck as long as I don't get the cheapies at the parts store. they usually have some the is like the gold version or something and they seem to be a lot better.

Thanks.
Anyone buy the ceramic ones from NAPA? Any other suggestions?

I hear those hawk pads are bad ***! I think I am going to try them next time I need brakes.

Hawk HPS. I wouldn't use anything else. No squealing, very minimal dust, and they bite very well for a "street" pad, in my experience.

I wanted to stay away from the Hawk pads just because I've heard some people saying bad things about them. Thanks for the idea though.
Is there any down side to going with the ceramics type pads?

Ive heard good things from 2 people about ceramic pads from napa.. Suppose to stop really well, and produce very little brake dust.

I have the Raybestos ceramic pads, they are quite, stop good, and have very little dust. I wanted them for the low dust properties, they do a great job of keeping your wheels looking good between car washes. I don't do any autocross or anything so stock braking performance was fine for me. They are not considered a performance pad, but are great for street driving.

I am also not into autox so I don't need Indy stopping power but dust and noise are the two priorities. Stock braking power is fine for me as well. I just hate the dust. NAPA ceramics it is. Thanks to all for the help.
