Brakes are hard to determine by mileage as it mostly has to do with how you drive and how often you brake.

r33_RGSport sells low dust ones that are very good. Several members here are running them with good results. Search and you will find threads.

He claims the lower dusting model (of the two) is not recommended for cold climates but I have had no issues at all living in NY with freezing temps.

Edit: Here's a recent thread on the first page of the forum:

As spta97 states, everyone wears through them at different rates depending on how spirited your driving is
There are wear sensors on the front and back that will alert you when you need to change the pads, just FYI.

I am also using the iSweep pads (i2000, the more aggressive of the 2) from Ben at RGSport and they are excellent!

I wish Powerstop or Stop Tech made pads. It would be a non overpriced option at least...

Yep I'm running IS2000 and brake dust is close to if not a bit less than OEM but ceramic coating the wheels and sealing it allows it for a easy rinse off. I could careless about the brake dust, its the bite that you're really getting.
