ditto andy, ebc pads have basically zero dust. I have run them, i dunno maybe 8000 miles (we've only put 25000 miles on the nav in 3.5 years) and never have any dust. I own a carwash, so I see some of the most godforsaken awful wheels you've ever seen. Ceramics are not a real favorite of mine. The one downside to the ebc, which is the same with all pads of their nature, is that overheating them once will cause a glazed rotor and squealing.

I wound up getting a set of their rotors too.

I use hawk Pads, great pads but still throw some dust....Sealing the wheels helped alot though.
I used this and the dust doesn't seem to stick nearly as bad:

I just bought a bunch of products from here and have to say they make Great stuff.

I love my Carbon Metallic Brake Pads
I love my Carbon Metallic Brake Pads, Front and Rear, Great stopping Power, Low Dust AND they extend the life of the Rotors. I use them on the Stock OE Rotors.

AutoZone used to carry the Carbon Metallics. Might want to give them a call.
EDIT: They still do.
