What are the best brake pads that have the least amount of dust?
Both my cars came with new front pads and I have no idea who manufactured them. My A6 is throwing out some serious dust and my driveway looks like crap they are also noisey when I brake. Who makes brake pads that minimize dust? Is it too much to ask for quiet pads? Do I have to go to $eramic?
BTW-The noise is the pads clamping the rotors not a mechanical problem. |
I use HPS pads and brake hard commonly. I noticed very little sound if any from the pads so far and currently am on my second set. I got these for the car all the way around because of the performance but I would have to say I haven't had noise problems for a year now.

My indie shop has always given me good advice - they put in Centrex pads when I had the brakes done 35k miles ago. Dust is low and braking fine. Caveat is that I don't use the brakes hard and do mostly highway driving.

brembo is the way to go :D

Is just like with Eggland's best... who has the money to advertise appears to have the "better" product.

Ok so HPS, Akebobos,Centric and Egglands Best. I'll look into them. As for brake squeal my rears all had the shim but the fronts are all missing I am ordering more because I like to put the anti squeal between the shim and the pad. But I load it up anyhow and that does the trick. Thanks-Omelets anyone
