Best Low dust brakes?

Hey, my 98 I30 currently needs new rear pads, and the front ones (PBR Axxis) dust way too much for me, i dont track the car, i just drive it semi rough on the street, whats a good pad for me?

I've been thinking maybe EBC Red?


What you guys think?

i had those low dust ebc's, and they dusted more than anything i have ever used.....right now i went for a quickie and i am using duralast gold ceremics, and they are not the best preforming by any means, but they throw no dust on my wheels. they are very good in that respect.

OE's dust like crazy wtf, you haven't lived until you've tried Morse HP ceramics. Also, I've heard good things of Duralasts as well.

True when I had OEMs for the first 40K miles there were no dust, but then it shot my rotors.

I have gone thro 2 rounds of ceramics and I doubt you can get away with dust, quite impossible I must say but then the rotors are nice and healthy.

Braking is predicable with ceramics but then the dust is quite embrassing, well for one no one is going to come steal my vehicle looking at the dust.

OT: That looks kinda (the sticker on MAF) lol. Other than that awesome.. I just sprayed mine black, 2 coats followed by clearcoat I think, cant even remember. We wont get into that though. I need to paint my damn mid pipe black, its bare metal currently.

BACK TO TOPIC. heh.

I got the Raybestos quiet stop ceramics. Dead silent, NO dust at all, and performance comparable to OEM.

The Raybestos QS is another good choice over OEM...

All pads get dust, no matter how you drive. Hawks get a light dusting, not as bad as stock or some of the other pads. So, don't go saying you never get brake dust cuz all pads eventually do. I've seen your wheels before, you also get dust.

mild dust on there. i had my OEM's and never really had to clean the wheels but with the raybesto's i had to clean it once or twice. braking power i would put it similiar to OEM at best. axxis stop a lot better then QS

Duralast Gold 4 DD

For duralast gold. Ive used these on 2 of my 4thgens for over 2 years now.There is hardly any dust at all. I did try strauss ceramic versions but switched back to golds for obvious reasons.

I would go with either OEM, Raybesto, or Hawks...

All I have to say is stay away from Axxis
