Default A6 brakes
Its time for brakes on my A6 and I am looking for suggestions on pads and rotors that do not create a ton of brake dust on the wheels.

For brake pads, I've used Akebono EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pads for years on my A7. No dust, quiet and long life. I use their ceramic pads on my HD truck and Jeep as well. Rotors will have little effect on dust. My rotors need to be replaced soon, so I'll probably go with a mid-range z-coated rotor from Zimmerman. Not too concerned about high performance. FCPEuro offers lifetime replacement which includes pads and rotors. Probably pretty expensive to ship the rotor back though.
