Brake pads

Figure its about time for new brake pads its been a while 3 years for the fronts, changed w/ new rotors. Still no squeeking but I think it would be a good idea to change up to a set of pads that put out less dust. Its getting too hard to clean these dam wheels.

The only options available to a 1.6l pro are EBC green stuff's or the satisfied pro ceramic pads. Both should be low dust, Im not looking for any insane bite or anything mind you I dont have abs or anything and would like to be able to stop with out constantly locking the brakes while on winter tires.

Im also looking to replace the rear shoes I dont know if they were ever replaced so why not. Do I need new drums or can they be machined just like the rotors, or should I not care and just put the new stuff on. For that the only option I have is satisfied pro or oem.

^^ lucky you, I'm hoping that I could get slotted rotors for my pro but I wanna know if they come bigger than stock size. I need 4 rotors though, I have both front and rear disk brakes.
