Question EBC Green stuff V4 Brake pads

Just installed new front pads on stock rotors(the rotors were 'resurfaced') and I have noticed a fair amount of brake dust.
Is this usual during the 300mi break in period....?

Any other thoughts, I have used these in the past on a honda with very little dust.

thnx

What gives? Defective pads??? Is there such a thing?

theyre not really THAT much more dust free, ive found this out the hard way. The biggest plus i found with these pads was improved braking.

There was definitely more dust when my EBC greenstuff were brand new, but I don't recall how many miles.... maybe a month's driving before it dropped off?
