Brake Pad suggestions? - United Bimmer Community

Ok so I have about 55K miles on my car ant the brake light indicator came on so it is time to replace the pads.

My question is, are there any pads out there that are better than the factory in regards to performance but mostly the amount of brake dust that they give off? My wheels are a bitch to clean and if I can get pads that reduce the amount of dust, then I definitely will. Any input appreciated.

For street use EBC greenstuff pads seem to be a good choice, people say they eat your rotors a bit more than other options and occasionally squeek at low speed stopping. Theyre very low dust.

I'm gonna try out the axxis deluxes next time.

I would recommend that you STAY AWAY from hawk hps. They rattle like crazy on my car, sounds like a UPS is coming around when my car comes to a stop. Plus I hear they have odd sizing for rears which causes them to clunk in the calipers, although I'm running OEMs in the rear, so I can't say for sure.
