Default Brake Pad recomendations
I have powerslot rotors and chrome 5 star wheels and I am wiping off the brake dust every day. I am using GM pads and I probably need to replace them and I was looking for a pad that you don't get as much brake dust with and one that doesn't squeal...

I use the Ceramix from NAPA no noise, very little dust , but pricey. I thing Gm sells ceramic pads now,as well as Pep Boys. If you go with NAPA page Mr. Mojo ,he has a friend that sold me mine about 25% cheaper then the local dealers,good luck Jim.

Put on the NAPA Ceramix about 3000 miles ago, they seem to stop as well as carbon, they are LESS dusty, but still dusty!

EBC Green Stuff dust up a bit, but it's very easy to clean.

Very happy Hawk user here. They dust less than the stock GM pads, but still require cleaning every 5-6 days at least.

<<--happy hawk owner, KVR kevlar pads are also good if you don't like much dust, less than hawk & the other ferro carbon pads.
