I've got the same problem with my Z06.
Got the ceramic pads from Jeff Kopp but haven't got them on there yet.
Maybe this Saturday or Sunday.
Jeff said he had them and it all but eliminated the dust problem.
Probably doesn't matter which brand of pad you get.
A buddy at work put the ceramics on his 'Burban and he sez the dust problem just dissapeared and he couldn't tell ANY difference in stopping power.
That's why I decided to try them. AND, Jeff Kopp has them in stock.

I have the Raybestos Q/S ceramics and the dust went away! Got them from a discount auto parts in Buffalo, NY. Go to google and put in Raybestos Q/S brakes. The discount house was $70-100 bucks less than the retail shops.
