Performance Pack Brake Dust?

How bad is the brake dust from the Brembo's on the Performance Pack?


Asking because I know the STI's suffer from massive amounts of brake dust, was wondering if the BRZ uses a different pad compound with less dust.

I'm getting a ton of dust, but since I got the wheels opti-coated with the rest of the car, hosing them down is enough to clear them of dust.
