Default Best Low Dust Performance Brake Pads?

I gave up a bit of performance going to Raybestos Ceramics. There is no dust to speak of now, which is Awesome.

I'm wondering if there are any pads that brake better than stock with less dust than stock. Does Brembo, Wilwood, LPE or anyone else have a pad like this? Any recc's?

Is there a such thing as carbon fiber or just carbon? Does it dust less? I had Hawk Streets and they were like dust from hell.

I've said it before, I'll say it again - stock pads are the best for a street-driven car!! No such thing as a pad that stops better with less dust........

I have the Hawk HP-Plus pads and they've been pretty good so far. They don't produce that much dust on the street, but it's a different story on the track where you're hard on the brakes most of the time (ran them at TWS).

Anyone know anything about the Low Dust Wilwood or the Ceramic Lingenfelter pads? I haven't had time to call on them myself yet...
