I also like the PowerStop pads. The Z23 series are very good for street use. Z26 series are for tracking and may squeal when cold.
I bought front and back from Amazon for $105. Easy to install!!!

So its either Ceramic disks, installing different break pads or washing your wheels every week. Well I wish my Car every week and dissolving the breakdust/washing my wheels is part of my work flow (actually my first step). I think I'll stick with the extra 1/2 our in my alone time with my GS. When it comes time for new breaks I guess I'll look into these pads but thanks for the info. As usual this site rocks with the great information.

I have PowerStops on both my C7 and the wife's Infiniti Q60, great pads... they produce little to no dust - very impressive.
On track I use Raybestos ST-43s - these are a true track pad and not recommended for street use.

Check out Carbotech brake pads especially the 1521 pads.
For a high quality low dust performance street brake pad take a look at the Carbotech 1521 brake pad 100% non-corrosive dust will not harm your wheels, paint or rotors. Carbotech brake pads are 100% made in the USA and can be ordered by calling me at 216-780-8825. The part numbers you need are front CT1405 $253.65 and rear CT1718 164.35.
The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

Wash wheels and dry.. Then spray liberally with "ArmorAll Outlast Brake Dust Repellant. Keeps wheels free of dust and less expensive than changing out brake pads. The aerosol cans are available on the internet and maybe in auto supply stores. Supper stuff.
