There are many dustless pads in auto stores. Try ipdusa.com the Mintex dustless for $58 a pair.
However in my humble opinion if it is dust free it is harder and heats up in hard braking your rotors. I always used Volvo pads and dust washes off easily. I rotate my tires myself at home so I get to take the wheels off and clean them inside.
My brother's SLK 320 does even more dust.

I did my 850T with Mintex Redbox and new rotors from FCP Groton for about $110 including shipping. Rears I used PBR with shims and brake grease (duh on the shims) and new pins/clips. No squeaks but the redbox do give a slight groan at times when creeping to a stop - but when I had a recent need for hard stop, I was very impressed by their bite.
