09 JCW brake pads

I love the car, BUT as with my 05 JCW I hate the dust. Does anyone know who makes pads for the new JCW brakes, that will not be noisy, work well and minimal dust? I do understand they are the same pad from 07-09 for all JCW brake units. Thanks In advance .

You're not kidding about the brake dust.

Carbotech makes pads for the JCW that are low dust. Please PM me your driving style/events and I'll let you know what pads have been working best for our customers.

Just for everyones info. I was able to make contact with a brake manufacturer last week who is willing to make pads for the 09JCW. These will be a high performance pad with low dust. They are in fact different then other JCW pads according to the engineer for this brake manufacturer. I sent my pads so they could make a mold ect. Oh i was asked to keep the name of the manufacture quite until they get the new pads engineered and made. Approx 2-3 weeks
