If your using Carbotech XP series than for street you should use the 1521. That way you have no issue swapping pads. All Carbotech compounds are compatible with each other so, you can use the same rotor just swap pads and go. The 1521 is quiet low dust and still performs on the street. Give me a call at 216-780-8825 to order a set.

Carbotech™ Bobcat 1521™ The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

I don't think it's possible to reduce dusting while maintaining performance?

I run the stock pads as I like performance they offer but they do dust a lot.

I've been running Brakemotives Ceramic pads (on their Slotted Rotors) since 2012, great initial bite and they put out a light tan dust which is much easier on the wheels than the crappy OEM pads. Very happy with them....
