Low dust pad recommendations please.
I've been running AC Delco ceramics for about 2k miles and I've had it with the feel and sound on the D/S rotors. I do love the fact that there is very little if any dust and stopping power is not really a problem. What I do hate is the feel and the grinding sound they generate.
Recommendations for low dust pads appreciated.

The difference in feel and sound comes with the ceramics and the lower dust.
The harder the compund, the more grind and less dust... The softer the compound the less grind and more dust.
Everything I have heard and read says its a trade off

I like the Hawk HPS pads - minimal dust, great stopping power and quiet.

I have the Hawk HPS pads on mine - seems to work well (little dust and no squeal).
