Don't see why not. If it wasn't okay, send them back and get some regular ol' brake pads. Fancy sounding pads just cost more. Unless you're going racing hi zoot brake pads are not really necessary. Just another way to separate you from your money.

Clearly someone who doesn’t understand what they’re talking about. Or happens to like copious amounts of brake dust….
Don’t worry 12V will be along to support you in the “ceramic pads are dumb” comments.

Myself, I prefer equal or better performance, long life and mostly my wheels not looking like I haven’t washed them in a month, 2 days later.

To the OP yes ceramic pads are just fine with stock rotors. Just burnish the rotors good to side in bedding the pads unless you get really good pads like EBC with a bedding compound on them. Even still it is best to scuff the rotors completely.

I like ceramic, personally I don't care if the wheels get a little dusty, but spending a lot of money for high zoot stuff, when the basic ceramic will do the job 90% as well, makes no sense to me. I sometimes forget that subtle is wasted on some. :)
