brake pads

Anybody can recommend me a good replacementy brake pads for front and rear?
Preferably something that gives less dust!
My wheels are high polished, and the only time I would see those shine is after wiping the dust off.

I use the EBC pads from TireRack and haven't had any problems. Stopping is
great and very little brake dust.

Porterfields are the bomb, I am on my second set and can't imagine breaking without them. I've also convinced all my friends and family to switch over.

I will have a brake tutorial up in about a week on my site. Stayed tuned, check out www.club202.com, b/c thats where i'll post up the link.
