From what I know Ceramic is only used as a friction plate when extreme grip is required with very little fade. I could be mistaken though.

There are more cons than pros when it comes to replacing your clutch/flywheel on a non-boosted G. May I ask why want to replace them?

Well a more aggressive clutch/flywheels drives a bit more harsh and causes a shatter sound at idle. If you're ok with that go for it then.

I remember reading that Jwt clutch was great but to stick with the oem flywheel because the noise increased with the jwt flywheel.

A ceramic clutch would be just too aggressive and not daily drivable. A friend of mine had a twin disk ceramic clutch and that thing was on and off like a switch. Stop and go traffic is next to nearly impossible and he was almost to the point where he wanted to sell is car because of how much his calf was constantly getting a workout. To say the least, I ended up talking him into a JWT setup.
