I've previously installed LExus OEM brake pads; OEM part 04465-30500 (front pad kit) and OEM part 04466-22190 (rear pad kit) however, removed due to the excessive amount of brake dust (stopping power was great).
Installed AKEBONO ACT111 (front ceramic) and AKEBONO ACT1113 (rear ceramic) which have no brake dust however, stopping isn't on par with the Lexus OEM pad kits.

Any member have experience with pad kit that offers the stopping power of OEM without the excessive brake dust (for example);

- AKEBONO ASP1118 Performance Ceramic Pad; With Mechanical Wear Sensor Info (Front)
- AKEBONO ASP1113 Performance Ceramic Pad; With Mechanical Wear Sensor Info (Rear)
- POWER STOP Z231113 Z23 Evolution Sport (rear) & POWER STOP Z231118 Z23 Evolution Sport series pads
- HAWK Ceramic (unsure if HAWK offers a front pad kit for the IS 350 / HAWK HB562Z.612 Ceramic (rear) D1113 / 63-443-1113
- Porterfield R4-S high performance street pads - front (D1118) / AP1118-R4S
- Porterfield R4-S high performance street pads - rear (D1113) / AP1113-R4S

Use to use PBR / AXXIS Ultimate ceramic pads on previous vehicles, cannot recall if the Ultimate pads may have had the same brake dust issue as the OEM LExus / Toyota psads.

Did come across the following discussion (referenced replies 2,4 &19);

If you want a near zero dust pads. Then I'd recommend the PowerStop Z23, or Z26 pads. They have a good bite once heated up.

Semi metallic is good pretty much instantly, but like you said the brake dust is unbearable. Especially is you're trying to keep your wheels always looking clean.

Thank you Mike!
Will try the POWER STOP Evolution Sport; Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Z231118 / Z231113 pads, instead of re-installing the AKEBONO ACT1118 / ACT1113 Performance Ceramic Pads.
Will stay with a ceramic pad over the semi-metallic pad due to less brake dust.

Any experience with the AKEBONO ASP (1118 / 1113) Performance Ceramic Pads?
