I always feel a sense that I have been driving well when I get out of my car and see my front wheels are black

hahaha, so true. I have this favorite drive I like to make, lot of twisties and hard braking. I hate to make this run right after I wash my car because it gets the wheels, especially the front ones, so dirty. I prefer to make this run before I wash the car.

Get rid of OEM pads, there are many BETTER than OEM pads that are less dusty or completely dust-free. Pagid, Mintex, Axxis, the list goes on...

Front brake do about 80% of the stopping on most any car. This is also explains why your rotors are larger on the front and not the rear. This also explains why cheap cars in the US still use drum brakes on the rear.
