I have owned a number of high performance cars, and unfortunately I have found one of two problems with the brakes on all of them:

1. Either there is lots of brake dust.

or

2. They squeak

If you change the brake pads to ones that don't give off lots of brake dust, be prepared for problem #2.

More brake dust just means your brakes are working well; just clean them off your wheels daily and all will be fine; especially where you are. I'm sure you don't experience the kinda rain we get here.
The use of either a duster or paint brush whilst the wheels are dry will do wonders.
