...as bad as the stockers do.

My pads are in good shape, and I just bled the brakes, but I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a quality pad that won't create as much brake dust as the stockers.

I'm not planning to upgrade my rotors and calipers...I'm looking for a stock replacement.

TIA,

 

Unfortunately, any of the higher performance pads (like Hawk, etc.) all dust significantly more than the stockers. That is a trade off for much improved braking. In reality, the stock pads don't really dust to much. If you are worried about dust, keep the stock pads.

 

might be showing my ignorance here, but what about ceramic pads?

 

I use the ceramix pads from napa. Little better on brake fade and dusts way less.

Ceramic pads (like Raybestos "Cermix") are great for less dust, and their a great street pad...they're not really cut out to be a race pad.

Not true.

 

Ditto.

On-Track adventures notwithstanding.

 

NAPA Ceramix CMX7576

 

Ceramix Brake Pads
CMX-7576 front ($95 @ Napa the last time I checked)
CMX-7584 rear ($55 @ Napa the last time I checked)

 

I appreciate the info!

I am getting ready to have some stock wheels painted white (since my truck is white) and I'm figuring that brake dust will just look a lot worse.

I realize _some_ hi-po pads leave LOTS of brake dust, and the stockers aren't _that_ bad...but I was hoping there might be something that would be just as good of a pad (I'm not road-racing the truck) for the street as the stockers...without as much dust.

I will try the Ceramix.

Thanks again.

 

I use soap and water..dust never stands a chance...

 

I use ceramic. A lot less dust and fading but they squeak more often

 

Mine squeak bad enough as they are.

 

yea mine too!

are there any pads that dont squeak, and have less dust???

 

Hawks. Less fade, less dust.
