Which brake pads would you recommend for a low / minimal dusting pad as replacements for the factory pads? The factory pads toss lots and lots of dust...

BTW - This is for a daily driven, not raced, vehicle...

Thanks in advance.

and they REALLY minimized the dust. I can actually go a couple of weeks without having to clean them. They don't perform quite as well as the OEM pads, but you will sacrifice some for the benefit of less dust.

Haven't tried them yet, but Stillen offers a Green box Hawk low dust pad.

* Improved braking over OE
* Superior fade resistance
* Low Dust
* Excellent pad and rotor life
* Virtually noise-free

And a yellow box Hawk Ceramic:

* Increased stopping power
* Increased rotor life
* Extended pad life
* Ultra-low dust
* Extremely quiet
* Stable friction output

I was going to try one of these for daily use... Pricing was good. Interested to hear comments.

Centric Posi-Quiets. As stated earlier, you lose a little stopping power if you are willing to compromise.

I got the ones from Zeckhausen.com (may have spelled this wrong, but google will find it). I got these after searching many threads mostly to prevent the brake squelling. They did a good job of that and also have almost not brake dust. There is so little I am even able to keep the inside of the wheels clean with very little effort. Can't speak for running at the track because I mostly drive slow. Looks like many options for you maybe will come down to price. No matter which ones you chose, if your rotors are in good shape changing the pads is the easiest thing ever.

yeah, call Dave. He'll answer your questions. Also read link to "bedding in". Had mine on over 22,000 miles now, plenty of pad left, no squeal, and dust was reduced about 90 per cent from oem pads. Little different pedal feel, but have had no issues at all, even towing.

Been a while since I looked them up but believe they are:

Front: 63-104-11490 about $88.
Rear: 63-104-10530 about $79.....might have gone up since then.

Good luck.
