Too much brake dust
So I searched around here a bit and can't really find anything specific To this. I just put new wheels on my ZO and when I cleaned the old one's for shipping I realized that the stock disc pads are absolutely filthy. Took me 2 turns just to get all the brake dust off the inside of my old wheels. What a mess. So what are the recommendations for new pads that don't throw a bunch of dust all over the place and still stop like they're supposed to? Money is an object... Or so
Thanks in advance for the info.

My Z51 OEM carbon pads w/DBA rotors combo stops way better than the previous OEM metallic pads. OEM pads are gentle on the rotors + super low dust. Did I mentioned super low dust?
Granted, I am not a racer. Along with its reasonable price from forum vendor, OEM's performance is more than enough for me.
