    Default Seriously... What brake pads that = little brake dust

    I hate my EBC Greenstuff

    There is some pad left but I am so fed up with the insane amount of brake dust these things produce I just want to throw them into the river

    Can someone pleeeeeeeeeease recommend brakes with low brake dust?

    1. My wheels are gold
    2. Ever clean STI wheels?

    The hawk HPS has pretty low dust from what I have read.

    I find the KVR carbon fiber pads to dust very little as well, and they perform very well. When they get warmed up, they are a very nice street pad that is fit for the track too.

    Hawk HPS front + Hawk Performance Ceramic rears, almost zero dust and excellent performance, ...Love mine so far! (Presently 7k on them, no problems).

    I have HPS on the rear, and noticed a drastic reduction in brake dust.

    I have Hawk HPS and I notice considerable amount of brake dust lines. Than again, I just installed them on a few days ago.

    I assume it will go away.

    I've heard good things about KVR pads And to confirm Mazda kittens comment...I've also heard bad things about ebc greenstuff and lots of dust.
