I'm getting new brakes next week and i wanted to know the difference between carbon metallic and ceramic brake pads? Also which ones would be better for a daily driver/speed freak?

Ceramics are more expensive and will wear quicker, but will put less stress on your rotors. If you like to brake late or mash hard on your brakes, you're going to want to use these, or you'll be machining your rotors more often. If your brake pedal vibrates when you put on the brakes, it is because you have warped rotors and you are too hard on your brakes.
The carbon metallics are cheaper and crappier. Expect to chew through rotors a little more.
