Default Stock Brakes and brake dust

Quick question, I've got stock brakes and can't afford to replace them right now. But the brake pads are emitting some serious brake dust. Does anyone have any recommendations for pads that will emit less dust then the stock pads or the ones I have on their now?

Thanks..

Every pad emits dust,this is tough to avoid, just try getting some new stock ones or a big name brand.

Yeah I understand that, but my '97 Z didn't emit this much dust. I'll have to try another brand pad and see what happens..

Thanks...

I use some Wagners from Orielly's and they are very good on dust

Yeah I'm not hard on the brakes at all.. other than when the blue hairs down here have a panic attack and decide to slam them while in front of me. Other than that I'm pretty easy on them.

You may want to check into EBC Greenstuff pads. According to EBC they're more aggressive than stock and give off almost zero dust. It's a big selling point for them. The price isn't bad, either. Just a thought.

Yeah, we don't have as many around here, but I know what you mean...that and the damn snow birds.
