United-States Brake Dust

Wow, I think I would need to clean my wheels everyother day to keep them free of the ugly brake dust (mostly on the front wheels). I have the stock brakes on my MCS. Anyone have any ideas for minimizing the brake dust? Are there different brake pads that generate less dust? Do the JCW brakes generate less dust (this would be an expensive solution, but the dust is frustrating)?

The GTT Spiroslot discs & pad set do not give off as much dust as standard / stock items.

Apart from the odd squeak these brakes & pads are great.
