I have found EBC greens to dust much worse, and was not overly pleased with their performance.
I have always been a huge fan of Hawk HP street pads, have not used them on my s2k yet but will be as soon as the AP1 pads are in need of replacing.

I used to have ebc green stuff on my camaro, it'd stop on a dime but it did give off a lot of brake dust.

I'm running AP1 pads on my AP2 and they seem to dust less.

stopping quality and wear equal or better to OEM?
i havent had a chance to use them on my s2k, i had them on my Si and they did everything better than stock and dusted very little and i know i was hard on the brakes many times with my car with the way i drove and going to the track and such. i know the Si isnt an s2k so in terms of stopping quality i dont know yet.

if dusting is your #1 concern then i suggest sticking with oem.

if you're looking for a little more bite, there will be a trade off with dusting.

we manufacture our own pads and actually used the hawk hps pads as a benchmark. we've sold a few sets on here but unfortunately haven't gotten any feedback online...so i guess that's a good thing. i actually use these daily on my car and if anyone is in the market for pads and is local they are welcome to test drive my car. ours will dust a little less than the hps and still keep similar bite.

i will be honest though, the hps pads are very good and are cheaper than ours(it's amazing what volume manufacturing does to a price).

a lot of pads will produce tons of dust with slotted rotors. The slots sometimes "slice" off a bit more of the pad than needed.

The stock AP1 pads produce a considerable amount of dust also. I use stock pads for the street. It's not like a bimmer, but not quite "dust free" either.

OP: Put your man pants on. Clean the car when the wheels get dusty...or just forget about it and leave the dust until you feel like cleaning the car.

I have Hawk HPS on my S. Stopping is good, but initial bite is not as good as OEM, IMHO.
