Best front pads for MA70 Supra?

Howdy All,
I am after a set of Front Pads for an MA70 Supra.
Car has standard sized rotors with the only different being they are now DBA slotted.
I am after a Pad that ...
A) Will not dust up (or very minimal)
B) Is good for the occasional spirited street run... not interestred in track use.
I currently have EBC Green and they dust up like buggery.. nearly instantly after pressing the pedal.... a real pain in the a$$ when you have silver rims.
What is everyone else running here?, any feedback would be fantastic.
BTW was going to get Hawk Brake HPS but the damn manufacturer stopped making them a few months ago for the MA70  .

How do you find the dust level?, I heard ultimates tend to produce alot of dust?

Use genuine Toyota brakes if you don't want dust. They are the most dust-less pads I've ever used.

Autosport on magill rd get them in - but a probably more expensive than most (I paid $240 a year or two ago). EBC greenstuff "V4" (less dust model) is what you currently have - I still have the V4 stickers kicking around. They still dusted like fury. Hawk brakes rock - if you can get them!
I had bendix and thought they were shit for performance compared to the greenstuff.
Hope the new rotors are looking schmick!
Cheers,
Caelum

Cheers mate 
Doh really?, argh I was so hoping they were the V3  .. ahh well looks like will have to keep washing the rims daily haha.
RB74's are also an options (Had them on the Skyline), crazy performance but destroy the rotors haha.
What colour are your rims V8_MA61?
Damnit so want the Hawks
