Rockauto for our GS:
Front: Z261405 $76.79
Rear: Z261718 $71.79

I see the Akebono listed as well but Stingray only, NO GS unless I missed it.

This is what I did as well, along with new rotors. Haven't had a single issue since.

Hopefully, there's something out there with similar perform to stock but less dust. Let me know what works. Thanks in advance for your help!!
Honestly, all the options in previous posts are great and you will never notice the difference between powerstop, Akebano, or hawk. Just buy what ever you prefer, I’m a fan of hawk, best pads I ever used. KNS brake rotors are pretty nice too. Ceramic pads will not give you the stopping power of semi metallic pads. But you also might not notice a difference unless you’re hard on the brakes like doing an HPDE. Ceramic pads will have little to no dust.
