    Here in Australia at least, just about all European cars are notorious for having very dusty brake pads (compared to the Japanese cars we get). There are many theories as to why this is the case.

    For example - Europe has banned the use of certain materials in brake pads, and this led to the development of a dustier brake pad. Or - Germany has autobahn's, and the brakes must be designed to stop a car from very high speed even when the brakes are cold - so European cars use a softer/dustier brake pad.

    Hawk Performance is a company that makes low dust pads for street use.

    In a previous car I also used a pad called "RB74" from an Australian company called "Race Brakes" - they were designed for street use aswell. They were also incredibly low dust compared to the factory VW pads. That said, I don't think Race Brakes makes their own pads anymore and instead now, just resells other manufacturers.
