Audirpm, good set of rear pads is all you need. Hiwords, your mother. At your (lack of) height, my 242lbs would qualify as fat. At 6'4", not quite so much Now climb down behind my throttle body and clean out my PCV feed tubes.

Can anyone suggest a good set of pads all the way around ceramic or not. My main concern of course is the dreaded squeeking I really don't want that and deffinetly no pulsation.

Hawk HPS have good stopping power and shouldn't really be noisy. Their ceramic pads might be quieter but I don't know how well they perform.

PBR ceramics on my A8/TT bbk with slotted rotors all around...great pads for the money in all conditions. Been on the car for a year and a half- quiet and low dust. My setup is so much better than stock as far as stopping power and pedal feel is concerned; saved my car from hitting a few of the many deer in my area that love to pop out in front of me

No sweat there - we live in the same town, although we haven't hung out much lately because Hiwords has a GF that keeps him fully occupied now. One of these days we'll get him back out and see if he remembers how to handle a wrench

HAHAHAHA Imthedevil are you gonna let some half sized Asian get away with that? Us white guys just don't come in jockey size too often lol.
