get some of the polished aluminum ricer ones that look like you have giant slotted and crossdrilled rotors, but no calipers.

I have drilled slotted rotors with hawk hps pads.. its dusty to say the least. I love how they advertise LOW DUST on the box to. Im not sure what the **** they were smoking to put that on the box, they will lockup the tires they stop so hard, but wow they are DUSTY.

Pads leave dust, not rotors. Try different pads.
