I’m looking for pads that will be for street use & ocasional heavy braking, but that won’t shit all over my wheels with crazy amounts of dust. Any suggestions?
I’ve had Axxis Metal Masers and Axxis Ultimates on my Z and both were super dusty. I want something where I won’t have to wash my wheels twice a week, lol.
ive been running performance friction pads on my evo since the end of last year and this year so far. i love these things, i BARELY get any dust and they brake hard. held up like a champ brake boosting and stopping from 140 last night…
unfortunately the only pads that don’t dust (ceramics) will have horrible bite. You’ll be able to stop as fast as needed on the street, but the feel and fade will be worse. I put ceramics on my 328ic and at first I thought I was going to die when noticed how poor the bite was. 15 minutes later I was just pushing a little harder and now I don’t even notice it. I’ll hero brake as needed and they’ll stop the car locking up the tires if I really need for couple times before fade.
you’re going to have to decide between cleaning or a good pedal bite, there is no compromise pad.
I just picked up some Hawk HPS pads for my S4. Supposed to be little dust and great stopping for street and light track. Havent put them on though yet but heard nothing but great things.
I also have the performance friction pads and i can go a week or two without having to wash wheels. The car gets dirtier faster than the wheels. They have also lasted me quite awhile.
I’m baffled at the amount of brake dust my stock pads produce, without any noticeable pad wear. My wheels are basically gunmetal color after about 50-100 miles, a couple hundred miles and the front wheels are pretty much black.
Where does it all come from you damn dirty brakes…???
One time I let the wheels go for about 500 miles just to see if I like the black wheel look.
