Get pads from the 2003 model. You won't notice a difference in performance, but there will be significantly less dust. I did this on my 2005.

what type of wax are you guys using?
If you know the light is going to turn red before you get there, try engine braking instead of using actual brakes?

Why not just get a set of Akebono ceramic pads? They will solve the problem.
I use these pads and no brake dust at all.

I was actually thinking of getting gunmetal rims to match my brake dust! Carbotech FTW!

On the surface this looks like a viable solution to the dust problem.
Anyone else have experience with ceramic pads?
(Tbtak, I saw your post. )
