Default Best front brake pads

What are the best dustless brake pads for my 2005 convertible. I clean my wheels constantly, and after a short drive the wheels are black again. Does anyone have the same issue. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

EBC - RED STUFF is a good low dust premium sport ceramic brake pad.

I have not had any squeaking at all. Very pleased with them. Low dust, great stopping friction.

I have EBC red on my black roadster and Brembo ceramic pads on my blue roadster. The wheels with the EBC pads stay pretty clean while the wheels with the Brembo pads are always dirty. Live and learn.

Greetings, since your post is only 7 years old I thought I'd hit you up. LOL! By chance, do you have the part numbers for both front and back?

I've still got a complete set (front & back) of Rotex Gold Brake Pads in my parts bin for the 2007 Coupe whenever it needs new pads. Rotex Gold brake pads are made from Kevlar®, metallic soft steel wire and powdered sponge iron (for maximum heat transfer), and silver virgin graphite. These are suppose to be really good for stopping power with low dust generated.

I tried to reference Rotex Gold pads on BrakeWorld and it appears they were discontinued a few years back, around 2017. They were very popular back in the 2005-2012 era with the Crossfire owners. I guess your purchase date was prior to the Rotex Gold exiting the marketplace.
You've got the Gold!

I have Akebonos and they have started squeaking more in reverse only. They always squeaked in reverse for a few seconds but only when I reversed out of the garage.
They leave little dust and I am pleased with them.

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic's. I installed them at least 10 years ago. Quiet, no squeaking, and best of all, no dust.

I put Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads on my SRT6 back in 2011 I think. I had them on for about 400 kms but didn't like them, the pedal felt "wooden" so I went back to OEM stock pads. The following year I installed Startech (Alcon) calipers and Pagid brake pads and have never looked back .
