Green stuff pads are probably best for minimal brake dust. They also work pretty dam good when there warm. They still stop you fine when cold too so no worries  :huh: Will probably cost you a little extra though. But hey you get what you pay for!

i just heard a story that someone had a fresh set of greenstuff pads and after 1 trackday they were down to the back plate :undecided: what about redstuff? do you reckon they will be any harder wearing.

Take a look. Ive never done any track days but the last set i had lasted a long long time. In fact longer than the car.

I'm running pagid pads with drilled G60 discs and the dust is a bit much. I'm going to try red stuff next. purely because I have red calipers and green wouldn't look right  :cool:
