Alright boys and girls, my 97SE wheels just got delivered today and I'm thinking that I might as well do a brake job while I got the wheels off.

Since I don't want to be blacking up my new investment, anyone got any suggestions on a low dust pad? I already know metalmasters are off the list based on past experience. How about PBR's?

 

Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramic pads sold and installed at Pep Boys.

They are "silent" and you will see NO dust unless you wipe with a rag.
They are mint.

 

Went from OEM pads to X Drilled and slotted rotors and Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramics (Bought at Pep Boys). Can't believe how dust less this setup is, if I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it.
Try them out yourself!

 

FYI: PBR = Axxis

If you still want a high-performance pad, I have heard Porterfield R4S pads are very nice with less dusting. More $$ than MM's though.

 

Do'h!

I remember back in the day when it was Repco. Wish they'd stick with a name. I'll have to check into these R4S pads.

 

Do you lose anything in the way of performance/longevity with these ceramics?
