Default Excessive brake dust

Hi

I am getting alot of brake dust from the front brakes. Pads are only 6 months old and calipers were changed about 2 years ago. The discs have a bit of a lip on them, so was wondering if this could be causing all the dust. Also what would be a good replacement for a standard wrx daily driver?

Cheers

What brand are the pads ? Some brands like Mintex are notoriously dusty.

They are Pagid ones but it's just the front ones that are really dusty.

What are you running Jimmy? Was looking at Godspeed setup.
