I did a full brake job last year. Zimmerman rotors (from eeuroparts.com sponsor) on all four and Satisfied Pro Ceramic Pads on the front from Tirerack. They did not offer cermaics for the back. However, Napa did stock them, but were asking around $70! Since may dust problem was only with the front, I opted for OEM (Pagid?) rear pads.
Break dust is severely reduced. I now get a light brownish/grey hazing that I clean off every 2-3 weeks, which is about how often I wash the car anyways...so no big deal. Before, I was noticing heavy black dusting only after a couple of days.
The Satified cermamics are not true cermaics...they are still a semi-metallic with cermamic content. Regardless, there's lower dust, which is what I wanted. As for performance, I do not notice any better braking. I drive 90 miles per day doing 80-100 mph on the highway for about 30 of those miles. I love to hit off-ramps at 70+.
I guess if you were in competition, you'd be happier with Green Stuff or another agressive pad. For me, I wanted low dust and long life.
As for the caliper pin, I don't recall how I removed it, but it was pretty simple.
