Question Dustless/ceramic brake pads??

Hi y'all,
Does anybody know if there is a company who makes ceramic or dustless brake pads for our cars? I have a 95 Camaro Z28 convertible (lots of pics in my sig). The wheels are VERY difficult to clean and need constant care. I want a brake pad that will still stop the car but is cleaner than the OEM pads. I was told ceramic is the best but can't find any info on them. Any help would be awesome, part numbers if any exist would be sweet too. Thanks much!

Mike

Thanks. I'll check those out then. I want as little brake dust as possible. Now I have to try to find them up here in Canada. That will be fun.

Yes, EBC Greenstuff is what you need. I have them and wheels require very little cleaning.

I wonder how the greenstuff pads compare to say the Hawks which are half the price. Both are composite...

Stay away from the NAPA pads, they're having problems with the pads breaking away fom the backing plate. Plus they won't cover them if it happens.
