Can anyone recomend a brand of low - dust front pads, Im so cheesed of with all the brake dust I get from the stock pads. I want something for normal road use!
Cheers Steve

 

rotex gold! from www.brakeworld.com

do a search for testimonials, installations, etc. if you need more info.

 

I have the Disc Italia "Titanium Kevlar" pads all the way around. They produce virtually no dust.

 

Centric makes "Posi Quiet" ceramic pads. I have them and am quite pleased. Quiet, no dust and excellent performance.

 

+1 on the DiscItalia Titanium Kevlar. Very little dust and they work great. Using with slotted rotors.

I installed the Rotex Gold brake pads over two years ago. They are excellent brake pads and they did the trick. Still in excellent condition with ~12,000 miles on them.

 

Ditto. I outbraked a guy in a 911 on a road course from 125mph with these installed. Virtually dust free.

 

Double Ditto with Max & Mike in Orange.
I have had the Posi-Quiets for months now and they brake well and are 95% dustless for me. More time to enjoy driving instead of cleaning

Peace

Thanks guys for sharing your experiences - thats a great help, I better get some ordered !

 

At 105K miles, the rear pads wore out and started making noise. Front pads and all rotors showed signficant wear, so it was time for a complete brake job.
I went with Akebono Euro Ultra Premium pads and Stop-Tech drilled rotors and hi temp fluid. This is a great upgrade! Brakes are very smooth and quite, good stopping power, and dustless to boot!
Before I couldn't make it through a full day without having black dust on the front rims, so this is a HUGE improvement that I would highly recommend to all SRT6 owners needing to redo their brakes.

 

Hi Rob, quick question? Were the ones you replaced the OEM ones? I replaced all of mine because of the black dust on the rims (fronts the absolute worst). I went with ceramics all the way around and have had zero problems since. My choice was Centric, but I say any ceramic should eliminate the black dust from the OEM's dust problem on the rims.

.

 

Not sure what you are getting at but the car had 72,000 miles on it when he purchased it, so they were probably the third set on the car being replaced.
The OEM rotors and pads did not last 105,000 miles.

 

I just put on a set of Centric Premium ceramic pads and the Goodrich stainless braided brake hoses that I got from Rob, at Needswings. What a difference from OEM brakes! Good firm pedal, and excellent stopping. No noise, and haven't seen any dust yet. Give Rob a call. He'll fix you up!

Both good choices, you done good.
You can't go wrong with NeedsWings.

 

I am also tired of cleaning the front wheels 3 times a week. I just ordered the Centric Premium ceramic pads with hardware on eBay since I had $12.22 in eBay bucks burning a hole in my pocket. The total came to $29.83 shipped. This will be my next upgrade when I get back from my Viking cruise. BTW, I am touring the Benz plant where our cars were made... I will try to post pictures of that excursion also.

 

The cars were made in the Karmann plant and it is a VW plant these days the last time I heard.
