PHil, it is not so much who makes the pad, but what kind of pad you use. Every pad has pros and cons. But, if you are after minimal dust with good braking, then you want to find some ceramic pads. Odds are, you have like organic pads on the car now and that is what is causing your dust issue. The con of the ceramics is they tend to be a bit harder on your rotors and would therefore need to replace them a little more often. I am not talking new pads, new rotors every time. But, instead of getting say 250K miles out of a set of rotors, you may only get 150K miles. I am at 127K miles with ceramic pads and I will be swapping out the rotors not so much because they are getting too thin but because I am switching over to a cross-drill/slotted rotor set up (a different discussion all in itself).

I changed to Porterfield R4-S CF pads because of the dusting. Have over 20K miles on them and no complaints about noise, dust, stopping or wear.

It looks like Rock Auto has a few... (I'm partial to the Powerstop brake pads - haven't tried the rotors yet though. But I've used their pads on a few vehicles & will continue to).
