Dust Free Brakes

My factory pads get my wheels so dirty. I'm considering getting a set of Raybestos pads front & rear. Are there any other brands worth considering ?

Hawk Ceramics are a very good almost zero dust pad. That is typically what I recommend for dust reduction.

GM spent enormous amounts of money developing the Brembo SS brakes to provide reasonable service life with excellent stopping power for the street and light track use. The resulting brake dust is part pad and part rotor that are ground off with each application of the brake pedal. That is why there is no such thing as a zero dust pad.

Any brake pad that produces less dust than the OE pad will also produce LESS stopping power. The better the pads, the more dust they create. The better the pads the louder the squeal. It is important you know that any reduction in brake dust comes at a price -- a reduction in stopping power from the OEM pads.
