Try going with akebono pads.. I put these on my car, and they're GREAT.. with a minimal amount of brake dust.. I got mine at shop cost for about $80..

Don't know about your side of the water, but do a search on EBC - they make Redstuff pads, as well as slotted and/or vented discs (rotors) too.
I've got them fitted to mine - a little noisier than stock under hard braking, but they do work well!
