Try Bendix Advance. I have had them in V8, and now my TT brake upgrade. No dust, not badly priced.
I got mine from Autopro store.
There is other good options out there, not only
genuine and Lucas dust busters.

Have bendix advance in mum's camry. They are noisy and fade under normal driving. Go lucas. Half the cost of Bendix and a lot better stopping pad.

Bendix metal kings were a good stopper in the camry but like all bendix pads I've come across, they cause uneven wear in the rotors so you end up with grooves.

Lucas may be cheap and good on the track but I found them to be dirty. I changed back to Genuine.

I use some $45 ish Protex Maxi in the soarer for daily. I'd upgrade to track proven lucas if I was gonna head to track or drags though.

Cant really fault them as they've pulled up well for most daily driving and have little brake dust. I have noticed that they do suffer from heat fade if you're constantly stopping from 150+km/h ... which shouldnt happen with daily... =P

Bendix are terrible, Reason being, my rotors were machined before Midas fitted them....Didnt take that long before i had all grooves in my rotors, quite disapointed with that. I must say they have lasted a long time though(fitted two and half years ago), Brake dust isnt excessive, but i wash/wheels every week anyway so i dont notice it that much...But im also due for new brake pads and im gonna buy Toyota Pads.

Akebono make ceramic pads. Some cars have them fitted by the compliance mob. No dust with them. They seem to fade when used for spirited hill driving.

Good on your rotors too. Mate had brand new rotors on his TT and even after 23 000km, the machine marks were still visible on the rotors.

About $100 for the front set.
