Do ceramic pads reduce brake dust

What percent reduction have you seen ? I'm looking at raybestos brand 60.00 for front pads what do you think ?

I am running the Raybestos QS ceramic pads also and feel they have reduced dusting a good bit.

How much performance loss is there with ceramic pads?

I have been running Delco ceramic pads for two years.
I think that the pads do generate dust, but it does not stick to the wheels.
The effect is the same. :D

:iagree:
I think it cuts down the dust to a certain degree, but the best thing is the dust just wipes right off your rims...a "must have" for chrome rims. I also have the delco pads from gm and am very happy.

I don't hit the track but IMO, these stop you like stock pads- with very little to any performance loss.

Have Raybestos Q's on for over 3 years. About 50% of stock but still more than I like. Nothing on rims just side gills and rear, especially around tail lights and license area.
