What pads to use?

What brake pads produce the least brake dust and still stop good. Car does see track use so I would like great brakes, but I want low dust & no noise.

Hawk HPS is a good choice.No pad is dust free.

If it's tracked and you're concerned about dust, you need to pick one priority or the other, or buy two sets of pads.

Drag racing use, not Auto-X. I think stock pads are supose to be good all around pads? Dust is killing me now w/ Chrome rims.

Ive been running the Hawk HPS pads as well, so far so good with them. But they do dust as well. It has been raining so much lately in my area I can't tell the amount of dust yet.
