As a general rule, the better the pads, the more dust they generate.

However, on my G30 (540i) BMW went with a low dust pad, and they worked pretty darn well and the wheels stayed relatively clean. But, you will notice a performance change (and not in a good way) when you go to a less dust pad. And of course, that's on the 4 door family car sedan with no sport pretensions.

These are performance cars, with performance brakes. That is, unfortunately, the cost of doing business.

And FWIW, I have seen many folks on Rennlist say that they spent the coin for the CCBs purely to reduce the brake dust. It's cheaper to buy a few extra sponges, but I'm one of those guys who washes the car weekly and doesn't mind (terribly) spending an extra 10 minutes to clean the wheels.
