Well I use bendix pads on mine. Most places carry "import quiet" pads which are what I have on there now just because I didnt want to wait but the CT-3 give off the least dust. The import quiet give off moderate dust but are a good pad. Do NOT get raybestos, they are junk. I am going to try Hawk brake pads (dirt track parts) next time for mine but they arent what you are looking for . Either way you are going to be wiping off the rims constantly. Try to get it before it rains or at least before it drys out after. The metallic bits stick then rust onto of the chrome and look like crap and are hard to clean off. Just dont trade lack of dust for good brakes. A wreck will ruin those rims faster than any brake dust.
Good Luck.

I use Hawk HPS+ pads on the rear and Performance Friction Carbon Metallics on the front.

The hawks, which are a race pad, dust alot and are almost done with about 10 000km on them. The Carbon Metallics, which are more of a street/race pad, dust about 1/2 as much (still much more then OEM pads) but they are bearable.

I know mopac does. Not sure about Best buy though. I will probably be ordering mine online from one of the dirt track places (cheaper).

HP+ are the race ones. HPS are street. No such thing as HPS+ far as I know. BTW I think we are getting a little off topic .
