2004 Mini (base Model) with Brake Pads Question

I am trying to eliminate the brake pads dust. I thought the new pads Mintex with Improved Compound going to do the trick, but it didn't.

What type of pads are you experts are using? Any recommendations?

Thanks!!

Look for a ceramic pad if you want low dust. They do need to warm up a little to work though. Especially if real cold out.

Carbotech Bobcats. Very little dust, and I have white R83's. I'm o.c. about keeping the rims clean.
