Default Brake pad light on

I got my brake pad replacement light on today. I am at 32500 miles. What are the recommended brake pads which do not produce brake dust? I do not want the stock, too much dust.

I've always had great results with Axxis Ultimates on my previous cars. Not sure if they make a set for the S4, but I hope they do.

Just ordered these (warning: PDF) for my 2012 S4. I'm hoping for less dust while maintaining good performance (and hopefully quiet).

Thanks. I will wait for your feedback on these. Generally, after looking at the reviews, I am more inclined towards Hawk performance, but I will wait to hear from you.

Sounds good. Hawk was the other manuf'r that I was considering. It'll be helpful to compare them once we both install them and get some miles on them.
