I bought Mintex for the rear of the '01 S40 and they were inexpensive and fine. No brake dust.

I decided to purchase the same for the front of the '95 854T and did so about a year ago. Never again!. It's unbelievable how much dust those pads produce. Braking seems fine, but, oh the dust.

I suspect the difference is the weight and location of the pads I bought - ie. the front of the heavy 854T vs. the rear of the lighter S40. Next time, I'll go back to PBR / Axxis or whatever. Not likely to purchase factory pads due to the expense.

Sorry, but I guess this really doesn't answer your initial question.
