I do not have dust on any of my cars. OE rotors on the W212 E, GLS and C300...Brembo on the AMG...EBC pads across the board.

Well that would depend on which color the EBC pads were, doesn't it, I'm sure they make good products, but I'm very happy with the Akebono's

Stock semi-metalic TRW pads eat through the steel disk to produce rust oxides.

Ceramic blends don't chew up rotors to stop, no wear and no significant dust.

It's amazing how matched frictions can work so perfectly.
