1st, we need to know what year car you have and whether or not you have the factory Brembos as that will let us know what pads are actually available. Axxis Deluxe Plus pads are a good low dust pad but may be lacking in initial bite compared to some performance options. There are also Hawk options as well as some in-house brands that we offer which offer low to moderate dust without sacrificing too much initial bite.

I purchased some Endelss Vita Nuova pads (I think they're called), and the bite is real good. Dust is definitley better than stock, but not perfect. But you can drive for a really long time before it actually starts to turn your wheels like that rust color. And again, stopping power is super. I don't have brembos either, for what it's worth.

I just got Hawks for my Brembos and they seem to grab better, have less dust, and are silent. And for the price they're the best option IMO.
I've heard people mention that they can be noisy but they aren't for me. You will be doubling or tripling your cost to go with something like Endless or Mu.

Unfortunately Northern members must consider where they live [cold weather] when considering advice from more temperate cars [California and deep South] as the usual problem is aftermarkets shift cold performance to increased hot performance.
Many aftermarkets may blow thru a Stop sign in 20F weather.........Important to test them very cold and first panic stop of the day so you can adjust to the changes in friction vs cold temperatures.
The dust [carbon particles]are there to add to cold stopping.
