Default Brake Pads for 95 Coupe

It is time again to replace the brake pads on my 95. Last time the shop provided the pads and I got stuck with a lot of brake dust. Can anyone suggest a good set of pads with minimal brake dust?

How quickly do you want to stop? I've got Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads and love 'em. They might make too much dust for your liking. I've heard that the AC Delco pads are less dusty than most.

If my memory still works...the AC Delco pads are more expensive.

If you don't mind the price tag, the NAPA ceramix pads are virtually dust free... but they are expensive.

Thanks I am going to look up the Napa pads. I can get them here locally and cut a deal with my shop.

Geez :bb Those Ceramix are expensive. I looked up the performance friction carbon metallic pads from Lingenfelter and felt better about the price.

How about EBC Greenstuff from TireRack. I've had them for about 10k miles and little to no brake dust!
