I run Power Stop Pads and Rotors and it has eliminated my brake dust issues.

I use the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. They work the best! Less dust and similar in performance to the Brembos. Installed them a year ago. They still perform as when new and I would certainly recomend these pads.

"OK", So I've ordered the Hawk Ceramic pads - they should be here next week - I'll be changing pads then and hopefully, no more dirty wheels in 20 miles of driving

No, called Hawk Customer Service and had a long talk with them - My car only has 4000 miles on it - They said I could use my original rotors just to make sure I clean the rotors good to eliminate squeaking & use the grease supplied to stop chatter feed back

I agree with HDRDTD. I have been running Hawk yellow ceramic pads for nearly 5 years and 55K miles, and agree my dust has been cut down by 85% at least too.

Ceramic pads. I changed my rear pads and replaced them with ceramic pads. They now have virtually no dust when compared to my front brakes. I used these when I worked in one Canadian casino, where we use free spins. If you are interested, here you can see - casinobonus-ca.com

Dollar for dollar, Powerstops are the best dust free pads you can buy. Everyone should have a set.

Well, 100 miles of driving & no brake dust - Brake pedal feels the same for street driving - Happy Camper

hawk yellow brake pads and ceramic coating on the wheels. Just power-wash your wheels and they are 80-90% cleaned. Cleaning wheels get so much easier with ceramic coating!!

Yes, I agree - Brake pedal feels the same to me & since I do not track the car feel I made a great choice
