Low Dust Options

Anyone on here running low dust pads? I cant always wash my truck every week but hate having grey wheels up front after three days.

I had the same problem on mine. I put Akebono ceramics on mine and now I have very little dust at all.

I tried ceramic pads on my Toyota and it ate my rotors really quick. But it had very low dust.

I installed Akebono ceramic pads at 3,000 miles. 12,000 miles later my wheels stay clean and the rotors show no significant wear. They are a little noisy on the first brake application of the day, especially if it's cold and damp. I'll gladly accept that in trade for the dust from the OEM pads.
