yeah my Akebonos are great dust wise, but they squeak a little bit when i first start up the car. Good tradeoff for clean wheels I say.

+2 (3?)

Akebono euroceramics - bought 'em from Tirerack (might be able to get them cheaper elsewhere, IDK). Good stopping, zero dust. Unless you're looking for an all-out track pad, these're the ticket.

Yup!
Akebonos are the way to go..virtually no brake dust for 5 to 8 days.
Occasionally, a tiny little squeak as you back up from the garage in the mornings. No big deal.

I've just thrown on some EBC RED pads and they appear to have much less dust also.

The ceramics typically appear to have less dust due to the dust color being more silver than the carbon black of OEM. Haven't used the akebonos myself but have heard good things about them both here and in other forums.

I use Beck-Arnley Euro Ceramics from AutoZone [$109.00 for front] on my C32.

Very well made pad. Zero dust, excellent stopping power.
