My favorite fast street pads are the EBC Red's. Almost zero dust or noise, good bite hot or cold. Not bad for occasional track use, if you've got Brembo's, but the EBC Yellow's are their dedicated track bad - lots of dust and noise.

Every pad creates dust, it just depends on how light or how heavy the dust is.

What kind of pads do you have on the car, I saw you got a new brake job, if you put OEM pads on they create a lot of dust.

My oem brembos were very dusty over their entire life, had to clean the wheels every 2nd day.

Depending on what type of wheels you have, you can wax them or you could get used to the dust and clean them frequently
