Topic says it all. Time to get some 135-friendlier pads that don't dirty the wheels quickly. What's out there that accomplishes this without too much tradeoff in performance?

Probably one of the better brake deals out there if you're looking to do the whole thing
Meyle rotors are good, no complaints from anyone who's bought them so far.
I've been recommending the pads Ray on here sells (Smilez). For the price, I've been pretty happy with them and have been a repeat customer. Like others have said, you're not going to get quite the same bite, but to me the lack of brake dust everywhere is worth it.

I got a set of pads and cross drilled/slotted rotors from ray last year. Was a great deal and both have held up great. Defenite stopping power and the pads create a significant drop in the amount of brake dust from the oem pads.

Big kudos to Textar CeramicFusion, which I believe is now called ePad by Textar. For the 1st time since I can remember I have to wash the car because of the dirt on the car and not the dirt on the wheels. The stopping power is in fact better than the OEM Jurids, even during auto-x they held up great. The stopping power at any temp seems very consistent and they are very easy to modulate which I think is the best attribute of the pad. Not too grabby.
I highly recommend.

I have been told that aftermarket brakes may not have the dust, but that will squeal after time..... D the ones recommended here wall into that category?
The only times Textars squeal is when I first wash the car and the orange resedue forms on the rotors. Never under normal operation.

It's always a chose your poison when it comes to Brake Pads.
Great performance, HIGH dust, high squeal (hawk hps)
Good perfoamance, medium dust (stoptech pads)
Low Dust, less bite (ceramic pads)
I usually run stoptech pads, wish they produced less dust.
