check out the carbotech bobcats from subydude, they give off very little low brake dust. and give great stopping power.

I love my axxis ultimates , its like having a new set of wheels every day.
day one steel grey with polished lip
day two steel grey with bronze lip
day three all bronze
day four black with bronze lip
day five solid gunmetal
day six midnight black
day seven (I swipe the lip with a rag) midnight black with a polished lip

in other words these dust a bunch but stop great. Not a good choice for clean freaks.

Thanks for the suggestions.

on to other things, would it be a good time for SS lines and new brake fluid?

OEM is the best low dust pad, IMO. I have stoptechs and axxis and they dust like all hell. They stop like it too but too much dust for my clean-freak ***. While you're working onthe brakes, might as well do lines and fluid huh?

Project Mu NS pads for my STI two weeks and no dust and the car stops much better over stock pads. I've had them in for about 2-3 months..
