I do daily drive my Z. That is why i am not sure of the ceramic brake pads since I have heard that they can be very loud. I have never had ceramic brakes before.
I would give the Powerstop Z23 or Z26(more aggressive) pads a try. In my experience on different cars they stop better then stock and produce little to no visible dust; the high carbon content of the ceramic pads make them almost noiseless aswell. The cold bite is quiet and usable for dd while the pads perform really well under hard/spirited driving. The Z26 are their top of the line pads that they offer unless you op for track pads which I wouldn't recommend for dd
