How's dust? lol. I have white wheels and my current pads are extra dusty. My car is 99.9% street use, so I was thinking of either the stage 1 or stage 2 front kit with 1521 pads, plus some low dust ceramic pads in the rear like EBC red stuff or Hawk performance ceramic.

Carbotech DOES NOT recommend bedding 1521 pads. After installing these pads, the car needs to be driven like your grandma would drive for about 400 miles (and this is a direct quote!). If these pads are bedded, there is a good chance they would glaze, which would cause squealing.
