    Default Dust free Pads?

    I am looking to replace my rear pads, but wonder which are really the best when it comes to all aspects? I want good stopping of course, but I also want a pair that will last a decent amount of miles and most importantly do not create a lot of dust.

    I have tried the EBC breaks and was not impressed with the dust issue. And they were squeeky, which I guess is a common issue.

    I believe the last pair were DP, which left some dust (much less than EBC) and were quiet.

    Any ideas?

    EBC HH's here too, and not as much dust as the stock pads left. With my black rim dust really shows up too.

    You're going to get dust from all of them. If the pads are soft it will be brake dust, if the pads are hard it will be dust from the rotor.

    I am not seeing any dust from mine, Stoppage is very good until they get wet, then you need to be prepared for a short dryoff time. These are the very inexpensive Kevlar pads. Ebay has them for about $35.00 for the whole set shipped. I was skeptical but they do a good job. I only have about 3000 miles on these pads so I can't give a real longevity ranking, I put 25,000 on the stock set.

    Default Ceramic

    I have the ceramic pads and there seems to be very little dust. Great stopping power and very little brake fad even when wet. I like them. Have them on my truck too.

    Default Thanks For The Suggestions!!!

    I went with the DP Sinisters again.... They make no noise, good stopping power, even in the rain and minimul dust.

    You guys are right in the fact that they all leave some dust.

    It was definately time though, pads were wearing thin.
