LOW-DUST brake pads

i've done a search and i havn't found an absolute winner in the low-dust brake pad area. I'm not going to be auto-xing so i'm not too worried about performance, i just want pads that don't leave my Enkei's lookin black powder coated.

Endless Vita Nuova. I had the Endless SS-S pads and they dusted a lot less than stock did.

Had Hawk HPS's in my last Evo and the brake dust was very low, much lower than stock.

Ferodo = Black Rims... I am rough on my braking and they leave my rims black every night i go out. I wash my rims every morning when i wake up.... a spray of wheel cleaner and hit it with the hose every day will fix the dust problem. then you can just buy performance pads and have the best of both worlds.... just an idea.

What did you think of those pads? I'm getting close to needing a replacement and I've been eyeing those as people tend to have good reviews on them.

I've noticed Project Mu B-force's less dusty than my stock ones. But it's still a lot.

I heard some good stuff about EBC Greenstuff and red stuff being very low dust. They make greenstuff pads for evo. They're selling them at Pepboys now.

With the Hawk HPS's... I was very happy. Great price and they act pretty much just like stock.

The only major difference, is that they needed to be heated up a little to work really good. The first stab on the brakes seemed a little unresponsive, and then as soon as they got a little bit of heat in them, it was a LOT better than stock.

A 1/3 less dust than stock too.
