I agree, I just installed hawk HPS pads along with my powerslot rotors and they dont dust any more than stock from what I can see. So far I'm very pleased with them. They are a bit noisy compared to stock under very hard braking, but then again the slotted rotors could contribute to that as well.

I'm using the KVR 'Carbon Fibre' Pads in conjunction with their Cross-Drilled Silver Cadnium Plated Rotors and Earl's Stainless Steel Brakelines.
I used the stock pads with the KVR rotors for awhile since I only had 21k miles on them - and they worked fine. I looked at pads and liked the idea of using the KVR pads since I had their rotors but they are pretty pricey. Anyway, I ended up getting a set to finish out my brake package. The feel is great and you actually tell that they brake better than the stock pads. I get a little more brake dust residue, but not bad - I wipe my car down completely any time I drive it anyway. The KVR Part #'s I have are M7618 (fronts) and M7619(rears). Check them out at www.kvrperformance.com . Good luck!
