Do Low Dust Brake Pads Really Work?

[m3f_nixtfy_c9201d70ed]

Try Repco metal masters they are relatively inexpensive $10.00 more than stock and dust much less. There only down side is that they are a little harder on the rotors.

I had my cross drilled rotors resurfaced and they are smoooth as glass. Also the Low dust pads are the best. I was washing car every three days before I got them.

Q. How can I eliminate or reduce brake dust?



Aside from changing your driving style, you may need to change your brake pad type. The stock Jurid pads have excellent bite, even when cold or

wet, but produce excessive dust as a result. Metallic pads (e.g., Porterfield R4S pads) will reduce the amount of dust at the expense of noise and

rotor disc wear, however, replacing rotors when replacing pads would be a logical step for the enhanced life metallic pad. Semi-metallic pads

(e.g., Rotex and Mintex Redbox pads) provide an excellent compromise of reduced brake dust and increased stopping power. Finally, Kevlar

based, non-metallic pads (e.g., EBC Red Stuff pads) are much easier on the rotors and produce very low amounts of dust.

Thats BS. I had EBC Red stuffs on my jetta, and while they stopped like CRAZY, they dusted alot, and the dust was tough to remove. The brakes were killer when warmed up. They also lasted a really long time. I must have had them for at least 45k miles, and i was on them like white on ****.

I used the Pagid Pads at three track days and they performed very well with never any brake fade. They dust much less and do not squeal I would say most people should be happy with them. Don't worry about rotor life too much they tend to last about two sets of brake pads and sometimes three on your rears. Any longer and your probably pushing it. Warm up of the pads is hard to notice on the street, it's maybe the first one or two stops signs in a cold morning that the brakes will not bite as quickly and then the rest of your drive is fine.
