I hope to have good feedback when I get back to the office Monday.  My brakes aren't worn yet, but need to know something.

How come my brakes are so awesome that they leave no brakes dust on the rims? 

Almost everyone of my last 10 cars absolutely had filthy front rims from brake dust.

Is there a special brake pad to know to purchase?

I think GM did not cut corners with the brake pads. Good pads = less dust. I am thinking about cross drilled rotors. With the new wheels the stock ones dont look that great.

pgd1159qs is the # on the ceramic pads from raybestos...i get no brake dust with mine...mine are the 699qs's (2000-2005 monte carlo)
 
no rotors for the front as of yet..but those pads should help really well if your rotors are good :)
