get some AEM/Nissin pads. almost dust free and grabs real good. they can be had for bout 45-50 bucks a pair. i run em, real good compare to honda oem ones. the honda oem ones r good but dust quite a bit, the autozone, man those bring on a dust storm.

Actually i got some ones from Orileys i think they are made by Wagner and they are awesome! I bought them just as a temp solution till my AEM pads came in. They turned out to brake hard, and they hardly dust at all! The best part is that they are lifetime warranty, when they die i just have to bring the receipt and i get another set. I think they cost like 30 bucks...I was very happy

Pepboys sells dust free brake pads...not sure on the price though. But pepboys is usually pretty cheap. Don't worry about Honda Brake Pads, Honda even makes their own window cleaner...

I had Raysbestos ones from Pep Boys and they sucked ass and would turn my wheels black hours after I just cleaned them.

The Autozone/Pepboys ones don't work very well. Mine were gone in a matter of weeks. I bought the Nissin pads and they work great. The honda ones work great, too.

I got the raybestos ones because I was in a rush to get my pads replaced (old pads were griding rotors) and none of the local stores had the AEM's in stock
