Low Dust Brake Pads?
Looking for recommendations on low dust brake pads. Currently running Hawke pads, which are great for stopping power, but are extra dusty. Too dusty for my liking. Constant cleaning problem. This is for street cruising only.

Pads
I use Hawks in my NSX, 66 coupe and 68 coupe. Are you using the street Hawk pads? I don't have a problem with dust. You could always go back to the stock pads. They are inexpensive and do not create too much dust. Jerry

Good quality ceramic pads will make much less brake dust...and it won't be that black, gummy cr@p. The brakes will still have decent stopping power, but not as grabby as carbon-based pads. If you race the car or make frequent power-stops, ceramics are probably not for you.
