What type of brakes should be used?

I am attaching the process to replace the pads on the front and the part numbers for the pads for the front and rear brakes which if searched you will find many options to buy them.

Also, here are a couple guides that will help with replacing front and rear brakes:

Lastly, here is a guide that will help with flushing the brake fluid if that appears to be needed as well:

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Should I use ceramic or semi metallic?

It depends on what you are looking for. Metallic are more durable but more noisy than ceramic. Metallic perform better but produce more brake dust that you have to clean.

Basically if you want the best performing pad, go with Metallic but they may be noisy. If you want a quiet pad that performs well and produces less dust, go with ceramic.

I always choose ceramic because I don't need higher performance.
