Default Replacement rotors and pads

Not looking for anything extreme. Just stock replacements that are cross drilled or slotted and some break pads that don't make my wheels look like they are painted black two days after I wash em. Sensors plus very little to no break dust. Anyone know of any specials. etc..

Default Brakes produce dust......

Dust does not break brakes.

Default ECS tuning for both rotors and pads. Mintex Redbox for pads...>>

Very little dust. Slightly better than stock. Includes wear sensors.

Default A pad with good bite and low dust is PBR/Axxis Deluxe

They are great in the stock TT brakes.

Ugly but they STOP.

Still a fan of a bucket and a sponge for brake dust control. Tried the dustless ceramics. No bite. I use Hawk HP+ and wash the wheels frequently. BTW This pic was after a track weekend. I have cleaned and painted the calipers then burned the paint off again since then. Part of regular maintenance it seems.

I'm starting to wonder if non-dusty pads are harsher on rotors since they "give less".
