Whats the brake dust like on the Type R's?

Hello

Just wondering what the brake dust like on the Type R? maybe they've got improved pads? compared to normal civics maybe? or is it still the same, and produce bags of brake dust after one drive?

Lets hear fellow R Owners.

Its not 2 bad. I have got a lil bit of bulid up now after 180miles. Nothing 2 major tho. If you use an alloy wheel protector then it really shouldnt be a problem at all.
