Formula Ferodo dsc2500's are pretty good pads, a little bit pricey tho. They are good for both street and track and create minimal dust. Mate had them on his car and he had gold gram lights and they were always spotless. temp rating is pretty good and so is the friction cooefficient, good pads too when cold which is pretty wear. Usually perform BEST after a bit of warming up, (if you know what i mean:p ) Autobarn or Repco should stock them.

On my old DA9 I was running Bendix Metal King Pads and boy were they real firm pads, by that I mean that they made the brake pedal feel much firmer and didn't dust as much as I thought.

I also was running RDA slotted rotors which also made quite a differance, all up it cost me $160 for rotors and about $90 for the pads I also flushed the brake fuild with the good ol Motul stuff which cost me about $80 for two 500ml bottles.

totally recommend this combination as it worked for me!

I have been told that Bendix pads are manufactured to produce grey dust which is meant to be less noticeable.

I used to have Bendix advance on the front, which I was happy enough with for regular driving, and didn't mess my wheels too much.

Now I have Endless up front and Ferodo in the rear, and my wheels are always filthy. Great stopping power though.

Yep thats what I got told when I bought the metal king pads, I also had white wheels on my LS and you would only see any brake dust after a week or so of city driving.
