If the dealer is like 250 miles aways, please call them ahead of time and make sure they have the low dust pads in before driving there. They should then set an appointment for you.

Dude... just do it yourself! The money and time of driving to the dealer and back easily justifies the $70 for the pads, and 1 hour of your labor with basic tools. I did mine myself last weekend for the same reason, and my dealership is only 20 miles away.

I waited til my original pads were toast.
One very important advice, I would suggest calling every dealership to see what exactly they replace. Some replace just the pads and resurface the rotors while others replace both pads and rotors. I found a dealership that did the latter. Just a suggestion.
The new pads, although they will still produce dust, are not as bad as the original ones.

Are the new 350s still shipping with the "dustier" pads?
