Brake pads with loss dust

I have a 2019 C43 and am pretty tired of the side of my car always being extremely dirty. I basically figured out that any rain is making the rims splash the brake dust over the side of the car. Has anyone tried different brake pads that have good or similar performance without all the brake dust?

I am using the Powerstop Z16. Brakes well and dust less (and no noise).

It's weird, their site and most other sites don't show any available pads for 2019 C43 ,but do for 2018 and older. I'm wondering if the FL models actually have different size brake pads or another reason.
