Default Dust-free Ceramic Pads any recommendation?

I've tried Raybestos Quiet-Stops and Satified Pro Series....both dusted...bad!
Anyone have any success stories before I go back to OEM?
Thanks,
John

i've got good success with now defunct bendix. i had good success with akebono. but your car will still leave brake dust, but I dont think it was very bad amount. i bought a box of wagner thermo quiet, they not only were broken partially in box but they looked a little subpar. then i returned , found out bendix was reboxed as wearever gold in some cases [has to say so in tiny print and hints on the box] and got those. they're grreeeat! akebono is great too, but would have cost me more $ at the time

^ same. I have them on my SC as of 3 weeks ago. The Brembo blanks rotors were really squawking when cold with the OEM pads, so I switched to the Wagners and they're doing well so far.

Thanks for the tips. When shopping, I found Rock Auto.com had some closeouts on Bendix ceramics for $14ish an axle and some great prices on rotor closeouts I've installed the rears and so far so good for dust but the rears are always the lesser culprit. The real test will be the fronts, when I get around to doing then.

I've been using the Hawks HPS all around, very happy with the dust control. Chrome still clean after full week of driving.
