The EBC Green Stuff is suposed to have 40% less dust than regular brake pads.
EBC also makes Red Stuff which are ceramic with 50% less dust.
They are available through Autoparts Warehouse.

For the higher price you get less brake dust, but do the Green or Red Stuff brake pads perform better or worse than the stock brake pads? e.g stopping distance, fade resistance, average life? Any reason why I should not consider switching?

Green stuff are dusty. Had them on my 1st gen and they are just as dusty as the OEM pads that come with the 2nd gen. I hated them!! I ended up replacing them with the OEM for my 1st gen.
The red stuff are better pads, but will eat your rotors.

What about it squeaking? Would it squeak as much as the stock? Cause even if it emits the same amount of dust, I would buy it just to get rid of the damn squeaky brakes.

It makes me feel like I am in a 10+-year-old car...

EBC Redstuff is what is recommended for the 2IS by Andy at EBC. I've been looking around but no one seems to have them in stock. The part #s are there, but nothing in stock. If anyone found a place where it is in stock, please let us know. In the meantime, I'll wipe the dust off every other day.
