Default brake pads

What are the best break pads for minimal dust. I just got these Hawks about 2 months ago andI amready to ditch'em. I make about a 20 mile commute just to work and I cant believe the amount of brake dust on them. Itsworse if I make the trip to and from work and dont wipe down in between commutes it looks really really bad. I atleast clean the dust off two times a day This is begining to be a pain in the @ss. I can see the crome developing really small swirl marksI think itsdue to the amount of wiping. anyone else have this issue with their wheels. The cheaper the better drilled...slotted rotors what would help?

I ditched my Hawks and bought Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads - they're awesome. I coupled them with PowerSlot rotors and the breaking is great (even though rotors don't really improve anything). No squealing AT ALL!

Don't forget to put Disc Brake Quiet lube on the back of the pads just in case. Take care!
