Anyone have a brake pad suggestion?
My front pads squeak and are making lots of brake dust, rears just making dust. I had good luck with Ceramic pads on other cars but I can only find fronts in Akebono and both fronts and rears in EBC Reds. Has anybody used either or can anyone suggest a low noise, low dust, good pedal feel, set of pads for my CL55 AMG?

I went with Akebono Euro pads on the front, so far they feel perfect, no dust, no noise, paid $195 from Tire-rack.com

The Porterfield pad that I really like is the R4S compound. It works well for everyday driving as well as some track work. But the best part is that there is virtually no brake dust!
