Less brake dust - Hawk or AC Delco?
Just as the thread title states, which pad produces the least amount of dust? Hawk or AC Delco?
I know AC Delco isn't everyone's first choice, but I get them at cost +10 so if HAWK and AC Delco dust levels are similar I'll save the $$ and get the Delco's (especially since they come with the brake caliper bolts that are supposed to be replaced with each pad change.)
Thanks all!!

Ceramics are the way to go IMO. I initially had Hawk pads on my car & removed them. They're great pads but entirely too much dust for everyday driving. I could wash my car, drive a 1/2 mile, and the wheels would have a fresh coat of brake dust!

I run AC/Delco ceramics on the street. Less stopping power than the stock Z pads. I run HAWK +s on the track. You can still activate ABS with the ceramics but it does take more pedal effort. You will get used to it pretty quick. There is virtually no dust with the ceramics.
I reuse the the caliper bolts.
