Default Brake Dust

I know there's no way of eliminating it completely, but does anyone know of any brand of pads that tends to give off less of it?
The ones on mine make a real mess of my white wheels within 1 short journey, I've no idea of the brand as they came on the car when I bought it.

Cheers.

Honda ones are pretty good in this regard, and are well priced.

Dixcel M-Type are specifically designed to dust less but are more expensive: http://www.burnmotorsport.com/produc...-m-331238.html

Whilst it's a chore waxing the wheels really helps as there's very little effort in washing the dust away. I used to use poor boys wheel wax

I prefer removing dust from wheels rather than bricks from bumpers.

I find DS2500 very dusty, don't use them!
