I use the ceramic kinds...made in Japan, but sorry I forgot the brand at this moment. I'll send you a PM when I get the brand. They produce hardly any brake dust. The stopping distance is better because there's less fade and it saves your disk b/c it's not metallic! I'll find out for you. Later

Default Brake Pads
I use the EBC Green Stuff pads from the tire rack on my cross drilled rotors. I haven't noticed any more dust than I had with stock. Although, I do wash my car weekly so the dust doesn't have much time to build up.

I know someone who works with me, who used to work in a shop. He said the hawk pads are pretty good as far as stopping power, but I'm not sure about dust.

he ones I have no get black the next day after I clean my wheels. It's annoying.

I use Endless NA-Y. I clean my wheels once every 2 weeks so that's not too bad.

I am still using stock calipers and I bought the metallic pads from Stillen. Those pads are by far the best ones I have seen for not putting out brake dust. There rotors are really good too, they are coated so that they don't corrode on the areas where the brake pads don't touch.

I have the EBC also and I agree....can't imagine a pad that is less "DUSTY".
