brake dust (preventable?)

I have carbon metallic now, and these pads don't make excessive brake dust. They are better than the pads that came on the car and about a million times better than the cheapest o'reilly's replacement pads that my friend has.

I don't know what that guy said that ceramics were worse, but I have them on my car and it stops a ton better now and doesnt put out hardly any composite.

The rotors were brand new. The amount of dust that came off of these couldn't have been from any deposits that were left. What brand are you using then? These were Inwood. I use their carbon metallics and I get excellent performance with little dust.
