Hey guys, tired of cleaning the rims everytime I take out my 2010 GS! I have tried a couple of the dust repel products with moderate success. Just wondering what is the best pad out there with the least amount dust. I know hawks are good, but which one is best for street use? Any help would be great!

 

I went with Semi Metallic pads years ago, 90% less duct and no squealing like ceramics sometimes do.

No squeal out of my ceramics.

 

The best your going to do is ceramic pads, but they will fade when they get hot if you track your car. Semi-metallics have a bit more dust but not as much as the stock pads.

 

Easy, I have 2 sets of pads, ceramics for daily driving and track pads for HPDE's. Ceramics work fine when autocrossing but would never stand the heat of a HPDE. Front brakes reach 1100 deg depending on track.

 

Take a look at the Carbotech 1521 compound, you can do a search on the forum for feed back, I can tell you that we have sold thousands of this pad and it performs as advertised.
