i have been using the EBC green stuuf extreme suv pads with a little dust. no it does not have no dust but it has a whole lot less dust than stock for sure. i am also using the EBC slotted and dimpled rotors. i am very happy with them both and i am going to buy them for the rear as well. just my experience. i got them from autpartswarehouse.com.

do these ProAct pads make a noticable difference in stopping power. I had my factory pads replaced at around 14000 on my 04 supercab. now at 27k it seems like i need to have it done again so i might as well put better pads on.

Not sure how much all these other "no dust" brake pads are costing people, but I just went to Advanced and got whatever ceramic pads they had for my 06 Lariat. Cost for front and back was about $70. No dust, no noise and no discernable difference in stopping power from the OEM pads. Trust me, I would NOT cut corners to save a buck. If these other pads being mentioned do something more than what I just stated and don't cost much more, great, get'em! But if they provide no more real world benefit than the pads from Advanced, then what’s the point? Bragging rights in a barstool debate? In the end the choice is yours. I’m just offering up my opinion on my experience coupled with 20+ years of automotive mechanics (I’m an EE by trade though). I offer up exhibit “A” in the link below the pics.

I have them and they are great. Much better stopping over stock pads and almost no dust. (not dust free). I havent washed my truck in a month and my wheels are still pretty clean..
Stay away from ceramics if you tow often , they create alot more heat and will warp rotors...If you dont tow then get the ceramics....
