Default New Brake Pads

Well last spring I got some Axxis Ultimates for my 95 accord, they stop so well, but they dust way too much, and I have to clean my wheels atleast once a week. I was thinking about the Hawk HPS pads, but I dont know how much they dust. The other brand I was looking at was Rotex from buybrakes.com located here: http://www.buybrakes.com/rotex/.

I need to know what would be better b/c the Hawks are $40 more.

Eagle Mag wheel cleaner works great on brake dust
Wash the car occasionally, please

If you're seeing a brown/black brake dust, you're running metallic brake pads.
Ceramic brake pads generate a lot less dust (most times tan in color), and some brands are considered dustless.

Yeah, i got the axxis ultimates which are supposed to be ceramic, but they still come out black. i could wash my car, drive back to my apartment (5 minutes) and there would be a decent amount of dust on them

Any racing brake pads will dust a lot. Hawks will even do it.

i got same axxis ultimates brake pads n while they help stop a lot better than stock, i'm quite surprised that they being a ceramic pads would squeek when braking. But wtv, trade offs 4 performance is not gonna **** be off dat much, just always thought ceramics wouldnt squeek
