Use Akebono ceramic pads. They have like 5% less bite than the performance pads but last way long and produce wayyyyy less dust. In emergency situations the grip is limited by your tires, so that 5% performance loss isn't really worth anything for daily driving.

Pros: less dust, last long
Cons: 5% less bite

Akebonos are a good, quiet, low cost, and low dust option for the street. They also get rid of the annoying "bite" that the original pads have. They're a much more progressive pad. Don't try to track them though.

Pros: good, quiet, low cost
Cons: don't track them

Akebono has had the best blend of low dust low noise and good initial bite. I’ve used hundreds of different pads at my shop over the 14 years it was open and they were consistently the ones that had the least amount of problems.

Pros: low dust, low noise
Cons: least amount of problems

I've also been using Centric 120-series brake rotors and Akebono ProAct ceramic pads for years. The pads are long-lasting and amazingly dust-free.

Pros: long-lasting, dust-free

I put on Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors about 500 miles ago. Super squeaky with light brake pressure; I'm at the point I want to pull them apart and clean it all then reassemble.

Pros: pads and rotors installed
Cons: super squeaky with light pressure
Mileage: 500 km
