Brake dust is an indication of how effectively the brake pad performs. MB specifies a soft composition brake pad so that the brakes will function even if the power assist fails. A harder composition brake pad, that produces less dust, will also result in increased stopping distances at a given speed.

Ceramic pads (I like Akebono) create no dust and I'm almost positive that they stop the car better (I did all 4 corners, with new OE rotors) than stock material pads. But I could be wrong.....they definitely require some warm up time on cold days.....but performance is excellent.
