Ceramic brake pads

What's the best low dust ceramic pads? I love Akebono do they make em for our f30's? Anyone else have a favorite extreme low dust pad with improved performance over factory pad? Thanks

I got Akebono's and they stop so smooth and have little dust. Great for everyday driving. The only downside to ceramic is that under very spirited driving they don't have that initial bite that metallic has.

You might want to list your car specs so that the right pads can be recommended. For example, Akebono doesn't make pads for the 370mm M sport brakes.

I swapped mine (/w upgraded 370mm M sport brake) for R1 Concepts Ceramic Brake pads last weekend, and I'm enjoying them so far. Obviously not the same initial bite as the high performance high dust OEM ones, but I'm totally good with how they're performing with no squeaking and barely any dust. You won't find something with no dust that performs better than the high performance high dust ones, but the ceramics certainly come close enough for people who don't track their car

I've got a 2015 335i with standard sport brakes. Looks like I'll be going Akebono.
