If you have any warranty left take it in for the brake dust TSIB.

If you don't just buy the OEM low dust pads yourself, they're cheap from Sewell.

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2007/1885.html

$54.95 with the CL price.

I have the OEM low dust pads and I have to say, they work really well and I don't get a lot of dust. I have liquid graphite G Spyders which don't show a lot of dust on them.

If these were not this good I would switch to EBC Reds.

Yup, if still under 4 yr/50k warranty you get the low dust pads free, just tell them you have excessive brake dust and heard there's an updated set of pads you'd like to get under warranty.
