What are the best street pads that are dustless? Any recommendations for rotors?

You'll get a lot of opinions but you'll probably find the most common suggestion is Hawk Ceramics. I run Pagid Blacks for the track and Hawk Ceramics for the street (and I even autocrossed in the Hawks the other weekend and they worked just fine). The Hawk's do make dust but it's a lighter color than OEM pads so it is less obvious on the factor silver painted wheels.

PCCBs are the only really dustless brakes, but your not likely going to spend $10k on a brake upgrade, so the Hawk Ceramics are probably the best iron rotor lower dust pads. We run them on my wife's car with dba rotors.

I have the Hawks. They still dust (it's the nature of the beast) enough that I have to clean by hand.

Hawk ceramic, less dust than OEM pads. As for rotors, don't have a suggestion, lots of choice's in that category.

All pads will make some dust on steel rotors. Some less than others but there will still be dust. Any are better than OEM though. I'm running Brembo pads.
