Low noise low dust brake pads

I converted to discs on the front of my c10 several years ago. I can't remember what pads I used,but they're terrible. They dust really badly,and they squeak as well.

I'm about to get my truck back on the road,and I want put new pads on.

What's a good low-noise,low dust pad to use?

Ya they have the Thermoquiets at oreilly's, they were like 40 bucks or so, (depending on what application) but you won't have to do a brake job as often because they don't sqeal to dusk as bad, hope that may help you

I don't think it really matter where you get new pads from. (everyone has an opinion on whats best) Pads that are made from a ceramic material are the ones that your wanting.

Yeah I was wondering if anybody was running ceramic pads! That's what I'm leaning towards.

I'm running ceramic pads on all 4 wheels of my Nova and I won't go back to anything else.
