'94 E320 brake pads HELP!!!

My OEM brake pads on the front last on average 12-15K miles. The rims are always black from the brake dust. Are there any decently priced pads there that would either last longer or would't dust so much?

I got my EBC (green stuff) pads from tire rack at a fraction of the cost compared to OEMs, they still dust, but it is much much less.
Down side, there is a sweet spot where they will squeal, just brake a little harder or a little softer to get rid of the squealing.

Thank you, Sir

Thanks for your responce.

Do you rememeber if those "green stuff" pads came with the sensors? I couldn't understand from the picture, unless I was looking at some other pads.

Just confirming, you were talking about the $79 a set EBC pads, right?

Thanks again.
