So made a concentrated effort today to identify the Brembo calipers that come on our SQ4 cross platform to find pad alternatives. I seriously doubt Brembo made these specifically for our Ghibli so when checking with pad manufacturers I should be able to find an alternative vehicle model pad that would work with our kit.
Turns out we share the same brake caliper as the Lexus ISF. I picked up these Wagner full ceramic pads the shop had around and tried installing and gave it a whirl. Worked perfectly. Obviously, there's no built in brake sensor, but as our brake sensor isn't the traditional breaking circuit at low pad depth type of sensor, rather when ground contact is made single wire, there wasn't even a need to plug in a sensor (which is only on the driver side, not passenger side even).
The Wagner pads were just a choice based off convenience, but now that I can target pads made for ISF, it broadens my search parameters. No more brake dust for me
