You should get a variety of responses. I switched to Wagoner Thermoquiet pads several years ago to get rid of the dust and because they are guaranteed for the life of the car. So far I have always received a free pad set and the wheels are clean - no more brake dust or money out of pocket for pads

I'm a big fan of Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads. I have a set of them on my Eclipse in the front, and they hardly dust at all. In fact, my rears dust more than my fronts. They also never squeak, and they have very decent bite around town.

Akebono also makes very nice brake pads, and they just so happen to be the OE manufacturer for Toyota/Lexus.

OEM. Nothing else will do.
