Best low dust brake pads

I was wondering what you all recommend for the lowest brake dust producing pads. I really don't ever race my car so I just need a low brake dust pad. Right now I have the EBC Reds on there but they are almost gone and it's time to replace them. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

+1 for akebono. Have them on my E. Will put them on again. I have experienced some brake fade with them but I'm talking about repeated braking from 100+. Daily they're quiet and very low dust.

Where can I get the best price on these? Any vendors on the forum? How hard are they to DIY? I'm kind of scared to take it to a shop cause I don't want my wheels and calipers damaged and I'm sure they won't take as much care and I would working on it.

Also do you have to replace the wear sensor when you do the brakes or can you reuse the old one?

I didn't have to. If the wires aren't broke it should just swap right over.

I found the part # and searched all the online sites. Can't remeber where I ended up getting them.
