Low Dust Brake Pads

What are some good low dust brake pads that people are using? I put the drilled/slotted rotors on a while back and the dust seems to be worse that normal. Any suggestions? I hate having my wheels covered in dust after just washing my car the day before.

Ceramic brake pads are what you will need. EBC makes a very good ceramic pad. go to www.tirerack.com They are a very reliable website and will allow you to vieww your options in detail.

So which would be better, the "red stuff" or "green stuff" pad, as far as dust goes, or are they about the same?

Go with the Green Stuff. They are more for street and daily driven cars and won't wear as fast as the red stuff. The red stuff would be good for auto-x from what I hear.
