"Low dust" usually means ceramic. There are good pads out there like Akebono, but those are not for use on track.
Curious why you're having issues with noise. Stock pads are very quiet in my experience. I understand they can get noisey if used very lightly or if pad deposits are uneven. Have you tried re-bedding them?

Picked up the Stoptechs yesterday and got started on the pad change last night. Rears needed to be changed soon anyway but I found the reason for the noise. Drivers rear inner pad had the tabs bent inwards which causes the squealing. I know cause I had the exact same problem on my 3.0i as well. Must be a common problem on the Z4s.
FYI for my Canadian friends...I bought these through JRP in Mississauga who sent them to one of their dealers local to me and I got them cheaper than any price I've seen in the US...$72 and $52.
