Recently changed all my pads with DFC. Very low dust, no decrease in braking performance, and no noise. I am very happy and surprised given the cost. Was turned on this brand by some BMW guys.

I also installed Dynamic Friction pads, front and rear, after not being happy with Porterfields. These are a semi-metallic pad and agree with what @TonyN923 mentions.

So these are better than Porterfields in terms of dust?

Never used Porterfield but you can a complete set including ebrake for the price of just the front from Porterfield.

Thanks, I put Hawk front pads on but not happy with the amount of dust. I was planning on getting the Porterfields as I've heard they dont produce a lot of dust

Porterfield handbrake pads totally cured my DB9 low-speed squealing issues.
