Dust Free Brakes?

It's that time to change brake pads. Is there a special brake pad that is dust free? Maybe ones that will not leave tons of brake dust on my rims? Will ceramic pads do the trick? Let me know a good choice for pads at the best price and where to get them.

Thanks in advance.

Ceramic pads can help, but you will lose braking power (and increase distance).

Did you mean they are not to leave brake dust?

This is what tire rack says


Green Stuff Pads

= Upgrades the brake performance of OE pads by 30%

= Excellent intial bite for instant response, no warm-up needed

= Heat Stable to 1000 degrees farenhite for fade resistance on the street

= Extremely low rotor wear due to high kevlar content

= Low dust formula, great for alloys due to zero carbon content



Tire Rack also sells red stuff pads which are more recommended for sport/track

go to www.tirerack.com for more info.
