Default Low dust front pads

Can anyone recommend a front pad they have run that doesn't turn the wheels black after just a few days? I'm not looking for anything to enhance braking capability just tired of dirty wheels. Thanks

I’ve run Carbotech on my last 4 Vettes. They’re more expensive than the parts store brands but they’re a quality product, very little dust and great stopping performance.

I'm sure the carbotech's are great but if you're like me, they are way too spendy. I replaced the stock brake set-up with powerstop z23 kit (rotors and pads) and am enjoying much much less dust after the break-in period, you could buy the enter kit for about as much as pads only from carbotech.
