Default Brake Pad Suggestions

Ok everybody, I need some input. I put new Brembo blanks on all four corners of my 98' GSR along with Axxis Ultimates about 5 months ago. Now I can't complain about anything on the new setup but the dust. My lord can those new pads dust!! As far as stopping and quietness, I am more than satisfied with the new pads (I had OEM pads before these). But back to the dust issue. I would like a little more stopping power over OEM, but the OEM amount of dust was really nice. Is there a decent priced pad that will stop a little better than OEM, create no noise, and create minimal dust?? That Axxis pads were my first experience with other pads besides OEM, so I don't know much about other brands. Any input is greatly appreciated!! TIA

I have the Axxis Ultimates and I love them. They dust a bit more than usual, but the stopping power is second to none.

Sorry dude, I have them too. They dust, but it is not the nuclear winter dust that will not wash off. It seems to me that someone suggested Hawk pads to me when I was shopping, but no experience with them.

If you are so concerned with dust, have you though about ceramic pads?

Their dust is white, so it isn't as visible and ugly as organic pads. Unless you have black wheels, that is....

Well that sucks, I have gunmetal with a polished lip. I was looking at Hawk HPS b/c they claim to dust less. Any experiences?

Now I am looking at the AEM pads which are ceramic. Are ceramic pads easy on the rotors?
