That's going to have to be up to the large pad manufacturers like Hawk, Performance Friction, Bendix-Mintex, Pagid, etc. As soon as anything becomes available, I'll let you know.
For the "cost is no object" crowd, there will be a StopTech 4-wheel big brake upgrade soon for the SRT8, using their new 6-piston calipers. The standard street pad for that kit will be the Hawk Performance Ceramic pad. So if you want a sledge hammer solution to the brake dust problem, that will be it!

Ouch! For what I'm guessing will be a $3,500 brake upgrade, you can replace the rotors and pads quite a few times before you hit that number.

I'll wait for the pads.
Of course, for any seriously boosted or track car, the stopping for for those 6 piston monoblock brakes has got to be insane!
