I run Endless CC-X pads on my Integra and so does Alaskan98Itr406. Our friend ITR1236 runs Project MU top o the liners and we all get pretty serious brake dust. Pads that dont give off much dust are usually the ones that stay super cold and chew up your rotors. My reccomendation, clean clean clean.

I highly doubt the EBC's are dustless. You'll have to deal with more brake dust if you slap on a set of nice performance brake pads; there's a tradeoff. Clean your wheels more often, as slowerthanu mentioned, or go for the whole gunmetal look.

The EBCs are not dustless. I had them, and they dust quite a bit. The dust is a little lighter color than some other pads, but it is still there and very apparent. They seemed to be rotor-friendly, but they tend to wear out quickly and glazeover, making them very slick. I have Hawk HP+ now which throw tons of difficult-to-remove dust on the wheels, squeal, and are hard on rotors. But, they're incredibly strong for a street pad, and they stop me quickly on the autox course. As mentioned before... brakes work by friction. The more of it there is, the faster you stop. If there's no friction, you do not wear pads or rotors. If the pads don't wear, the rotors will. There is no such thing as a pad that stops fast with no dust. Just doesn't happen.

YOu get one or the other. . . Dust free or better stopping. One will come at the price of the other. Stock is one of the least dusting.
