What is a good low-dust brake pad?

I have to replace my rear brake pads and I have nice low-dusting brake pads but I can't remember what brand they are because my friend gave them to me for free. I have had other pads that put out so much brake dust that I would have to wash my wheels after every time I would go somewhere. So, what is a good low-dust brake pad that is inexpensive? Thanks.

i had raybestos from pepboys, but they sucked real bad. they warped every set of rotors i put on them. i even got some slotted "high performance" rotors, but they warped in a matter of 300 miles. id suggest getting carbon-kevlar or titanium-kevlar. some pads like hawk or ebc are good too. my friend has the titanium bendix pads and they are good, but smell under hard breaking.

Factory are pretty good all around, and they are not too expensive, Last longer low dust, dont warp rotors or smell. I think I paid 55$ for all 4 pads.

So I guess you get the factory pads from the dealer?

I'm wanting to get the "Green Stuff" It's a kevlar composite and you can get a set of front pads for $99. It gives you 30% more stopping power too, and it doesn't dust. I'm saving up for some now!

I just had the same problem with the raybestos ceramic pads warping my rotors. Less than 2500miles they were shot. I did by cheap rotors though. Anybody else have this problem?
