I have the Powerstop Z26 pads up front and although the dust isn’t eliminated, it doesn’t get quite as bad as stock. I just received the rear pads today so I’ll swap those out when my Signature wheels are ready to be mounted.

IYO, what's the percentage of improvement?

Lol I couldn’t give you one. They still dust up and turn the wheels a brown color, it just takes a little longer. It’s not a huge reduction in dust by any stretch but a noticeable one.
Doesn’t sound very promising, is there a better option?

Stampede, I can’t see which Mustang model you drive, but if it’s an EcoBoost, V6, or any GT-based model, the dust reduction with the Z26 pads is significant. I haven’t installed the pads on my GT500 yet, so I cannot provide any feedback.

Again, I can’t tell you. I’ve only used stock and Z26. You’re not going to find a completely dustless pad for our cars…and if you do I doubt they have very good braking characteristics.

The Z pads on the front of my car dramatically changed the brake dust. To the point where the rears now seem as bad as the stock fronts were in comparison. In my opinion the change is significant.

Pretty difficult to put in a percentage. I'll put it like this, I use to clean my front wheels go for a an hour or two ride and you could see the film of brake dust. Would clean them again before next ride (ocd ,yes). Now I can take 3 rides and my ocd starts to kick in. Hope this helps.
