My Hawk HPS pads (not the HPS+'s) have very little dust, very are easy on the rotors, and last twice as long as my stock pads lasted. They don't bite quite as well as the stock pads though.

How profound, you should actually give some "useful" information that people can actually use sometimes............not your usual "search" answer.

I have the Bendix all ceramic pads from advance autoparts. it takes about two weeks of city driving to even start to notice dust. Whereas with my stockers it took about 5 mins! They grab better then stock, are cheaper then all mentioned above, totally quiet, and come with a lifetime warranty! They seem to be easy on the rotors as well. I bought new front rotors at the same time as pads and i can still see the factory turn marks in the rotor after 10,000 miles, and i have zero lip on the rotor either.

It might just be me, but the pads on my 06 have given very little dust. Not once have I noticed it being a problem.

My Posi-quiet ceramic pads have almost reduced brake dust completely. I only put a set on the front and they still look pretty clean compared to the rears, after a week of daily driving unless it rains.

Does stoptech make a set for Brembo calipers? Or just for their calipers?

Yep, they sure do! Stoptech uses Axxis pads

We have Axxis Ultimates in stock for Brembo calipers - $100 shipped

I use PowerStop ceramic pads. Very little dust, great performance. Don't use EBC. I love the way they perform (they last a long time too), but you seriously have to wipe your wheels everytime you stop.

For the last two posters, did you use fresh (or turned) rotors when you replaced the pads?
