Default High performance brake pads that give low brake dust for IS200T?

Anyone knows any good high performance (same performance or better as the OEM) that give low brake dust compare to the OEM ones on my 2016 IS200T?

I'm running Akebono Pro-Act, they are low dust and great braking pads!

Same here. Feels just like stock, but with no dust.

Never used Akebonos before. Ive had Hawk HPS pads in the past on an 3G Acura TL, Jeep XJ 4.0, and a '05 SRT4, and they werent dusty at all as far as I can remember.

I changed out my rotors and pads when the time came for new brakes. I went with Centric High Carbon rotors and Centric PosiQuiet pads (Akebonos weren't in stock at the time) and have been very pleased. I just wish I hadn't waited 3 years to do it.

How much did it cost you to change the Rotor + pads? (include labor cost)
And if you leased your Lexus, would they let you change the Brake Rotor + pads?

I bought the rotors and pads online ($215) and took it to a shop and paid $105 for labor. I also have a 350 F Sport if that matters.
I purchased my car, but I think you have to replace OEM parts with OEM parts on leases. Maybe someone else can chime in on this question, though.

This is the one big head killer about this "high friction" pads. The break dust is terribly unbearable imo. Just cleaned the car and come back home black front wheels....... I will have to try these other pads doodlebug had mentioned, hope they're just as good

I don't think they have quite the initial bite that the OEM pads do, but, I have had them for 5 months now - with no regrets - or brake dust. It's amazing. I'm hoping they will last much longer, as well.

Edit: Today while out and about, I had the "opportunity" to slam on my brakes because of an idiot in front of me. The brakes performed flawlessly, just as good as the time I had the "opportunity" to slam my OEM brakes.

So besides the Akebonos pads, are there any other ones out there that give low brake dust like the Akebonos pads but better than Akebonos? Price is not a concern.

Can anyone please confirm the part number for both front and rear Akebono pads?
Is it also recommended that the rotors are changed along with the pads? If so, what rotors should I go with?
