Default break dust

I just got my pbr ceramic brake pads on in the front.. reading that there isn't much dusting, but there's still a lot! Is there a magical number of miles that I need to put on the pads before they stop dusting or decrease the dusting?

I have them on a '99 1.8t quattro

well the brakes were also suggested by another af member (i forget who) and they claimed low dust for these break pads...so I was just wondering if it takes time to break in

I have had my breaks on for like 10K miles now and have noticed no decrease in break dust. I have Hawk performance pads.
