I changed the pads on my car, and just put in halfords pads, now i'm not sure if its me, but my front wheels are getting VERY dusty VERY quickly, is this due to having crappy pads? Or just me braking late?

pads do have a tendency to lose more 'compound' initially as well remember

Most probably down to the nature and compound of the halfords pad, i have Greenstuff pads on mine and they give off virtually no dust.
