hey guys

so i am sick of the stock brake dust on my black wheels, it seems that no matter how many times i clean my wheels i can never fully get the brake dust off.


i have looked into EBC brakes and have heard mixed reviews about them


what are your guys' opinions about them or other brands? anything that produces less dust than stock would be great!

X2!

 

thanks guys, i just called schucks and they have them in stock.

you guys have the semi metallic correct?

 

Yes, I have the semi-metallic. Just rolled over 80,000 miles on them. No dust and great performance.

 

Mine are the ceramic and they perform just as good and no dust. Can't go wrong either way. I got ceramic because I tow a lot.

 

if you guys did it yourself, did you guys put grease on the back of the pads or no?

 

Wagner TQ semi metallics here. I did not do the grease you speak of.

 

Thegodfather,
I've been running Akebono, ceramic, dustless for 26K miles and am happy with them. I think the Wagners will be excellent as well.
(I'll be trying them next time)
I put Disc Brake Quiet on the back of the pads and between the shim plates
(those thin metal plates that fit between piston and pad).
It's blue silicone-like stuff, that works.
Ab46501, I LOVE the look of your truck.....
I originally wanted red or white, but took a wedgewood blue that they had in stock. I like how the chrome wheels compliment the chrome running boards and bumpers. Nice ride

 

You wont be disappointed with the thermoquiets!

 

You dont put anything on the Wagner TQs. You do grease the bolts where the caliper slides.

 

The TQs have a special backing to make them quiet, if you put anything on them would probably defeat the purpose.

 

I dont know which Wagener pads I have, but I can tell you mine do dust some.

 

I have heard 2 or 3 say that. I can go 3 weeks, and see no dust but road dust. Have no idea why that is.

 

your not talking about the little 13mm bolts are you?

ok well i put the thermoquiets on this afternoon, and drove it around the block and everything seem fine. hopefully i didnt contaminate anything so that i get warped rotors.


after i clean the truck tomorrow and get all the brake dust off then i will know how they do
