They are the ceramic brake pads used on high end luxury cars. I belive you can get them at any auto house. They are known to have a slight squeel to them though.

It is spelled Ceramix, and is low dust, long lasting. But, it causes more rotor wear. I have had no problem with squeal. jd

you could always get dust shields...a plastic shield that bolts between your wheels and rotors...It will keep your wheels looking cleaner longer...assuming thats why you want low dust pads
