Akebono brake pads. . . actually, what else is there to say? By far the least amount of dust and noise from brake pads I've tried in years. Significantly improved braking performance compared to others. The only downside is that they're a bit more expensive, but $10-$20 really isn't much more, and they don't come with hardware kits that cost $6. In fact, pads are cheap and crashes are expensive. Just take it and get it over with.
