Golf R Brake Pads with Less Dust

Looking to change my OEM brake pads to something with a similar feeling/bite (or even better performing) but with less dust, anybody have any recommendations? It's my daily driver and may have some spirited driving sessions every now and then, no track days but may have one eventually.

Since it's mainly the fronts that create a large amount of dust, any issues with only changing the fronts and leaving the rears OEM? Car has 30k miles so it should still have plenty of life in the rear. Thanks.

If these are the same pads used in the 2019+ GTIs with the big brakes, my wheels get covered in dust within 2 days of driving. My 2015 wheels looked this bad after 4 months of driving...

These dust less than stock?
My yellows dust less than my stock pads did, but still dust.

Jim, do you have a part number for these brake pads you use? The brake gunk from the OE pads are damaging my Neuspeed wheels. I have a 2020 Golf GTI Autobahn with just 20K miles on the OE rotors.

I'm not going to have access to my pc for a week or so . You could call ECS and ask them in the meantime. Sorry.

TRW > TXH1633 are the upgrade/premium pad from TRW (Stock pads) and they are an upgrade/replacement for my current pad TPC1633.
I'm also looking at Hawk Performance Ceramic pads which have upgraded since they came out and are nice as well.
