You do realize you give up stopping ability with a pad that dust less.

I use the Raybestos (sp) quiet stop ceramics. No dust and definately no issue stopping.

The first question is: are you running slotted or drilled rotors? If so, good luck. They create more dust than blanks. It won't really matter what pads you run.

I got a set of Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads that come in a combo set with the Baer Eradispeed Plus brake rotors and I have been debating on whether to use them or not. My first choice would be the Hawk High Performance Ceramic pads, mainly because of the extremely low brake dust. I do have the crossdrilled and slotted rotors but, I am know concerned that with the c/s rotors it might not make a difference on keeping the dust down. Do you think this is really true?

You could go back to stock pads.

I have been using the Satisfied ceramics and they are great.I also run d/s rotors and dust is almost non-existent.
