I like my A/Fs but they seem to be about as dusty as the OEMs. I also haven't done open track with them, so I can't really speak to that, but I did notice during the bedding procedure that they smoked to high heaven, but never faded on me. I could not say that about my OEM pads.

Lots of good words about the Bendix Titaniums, and they should also be available locally. They are supposedly a lot less dusty... But I haven't tried them.
