Default Brake dust question

I currently have Axxis Ultimates on my car and they dust really bad. I have to wash my wheels about every three days just to keep them looking half way decent. Anyways, does anybody know of any good brake pads that don't dust that bad?

I believe Cobalt friction is developing a pad that has 20% more stopping power with stock dusting level. It's being test right now.

Cobatl GT-Sport isn't too bad, but it does collect a lot of dust after a week or so.

I have axxis ultimates too and the dust gets crazy. AEM pads dust lightly if that's what you're looking for.

I've used Akebono on two of my cars and they hardly dust. They're better than OEM but not a race pad.

If you don't like dust just stay with the stock pads and switch out to your more aggresive pads on track days. That's what I've been doing, since all the extra fade resistance isn't needed on the street.

The dust on my Gunmetals is tremendous with my axxis ultimates. Not a good fix.

I run Ultimates too...I like the pads a lot. However, my stock 95 GSR wheels looks like gunmetal rims a lot because all the dust, haha.
