Default Brake dust!!!!

Ok, I did search and did not find much. I HAVE HAD IT WITH BRAKE DUST ON front of MY 07 IS. I do not drive this car in the rain, and I drive it a few days a week and the few times I drive it, the wheels are filthy when I get home. The brake dust is horrible and my wheels are cleaned and waxed every week.

I have stock lexus brakes, what is a viable replacement. Do they make Performance friction carbon metallic for this car or something better?

thanks.

What's the mileage cutoff/maximum for the pad replacement per TSIB?

50K = Warranty period as per TSIB. Thanks.

I'm at 25K miles and will request the pads at next service. Should I expect flack? Has anybody with higher mileage actually got the low dust pads?
