Yep, everyone is with OEM pads. The fix, new brake pads. Try the Akebono ProAct at RockAuto.com. About $135.00 shipped, good stopping power and little to no dust.

Yup...

I have waxed my rims. All I do now is hit 'em with a hose, between washes, and the dust comes right off.

the dust is a issue. ceramic or carbon metalic pads are the only way to eliminate it.
