Of course there is, but you will drop some serious cash. I changed to ceramic brake pads and they work really well. The best thing is NOT MUCH BRAKE DUST!

Absolutely. I wasn't particularly hard on my brakes, yet my stock pads were gone in 26k. I replaced them with the low dust (green) OEM pad, which I hope will have a longer service life.

They feel the same performance wise. They won't make a difference in braking. Satisfied is the brand. A couple of CL members use their products also. I like it because the brake dust decreased like MADNESS!
