Akebono Ceramic Pads

I haven't been able to find any ceramic pads that fit the F10 M5. I'm looking for Akebono, but am open to any ceramic pads that reduce dust and have similar braking capability to OEM.

Could anybody recommend size/part number/vendor to buy pads from?

Have you tried stop-tech?

Would be happy to try stoptech, but haven't been able to find the correct size /PN from them either. Could you point me in the right direction?

Update on performance and low-dust pads for the F10 M5. These pads are extremely unique to the F10 M5 as they are specific and new to the F10 line. I learned the hard way with my new low dust pads. This is the reason that Stop Tech and other brake specialists don't have anything yet for our cars. The silencing shim attached to the pad makes it another specific size.

It would be nice to have some EBC Yellow or Blues for the M5.

EBC only ships up to the 550s at this point, so hopefully something soon...
