I am inthe market for some brake pads. I am ordering some powerslot rotors and am looking for a low dust good brake pad. I have been looking at EBC but they give off to much dust I am told. What are some good high performance street pads out there these days
 
Raybestos Quiet Stop Plus pads are a ceramic compound and very low dusting. They also seem to have better intial bite than the Axxis Metal Masters I had before.



Normally I am not a big fan of Raybestos pads, but the Quiet Stop Plus are definitely high quality pads.
 
I have metal masters on my car right now...I give em a 7.10.



you should give Raybestos a brake...err try, i have a friend that likes off roading and swears by them.
 
I just put on Raybestos QS pads. They seem pretty good in the 300 miles or so I've driven on them. I'll need to clean my wheels once it stops raining and then see how much they dust.
 
few thousand miles ago to dimpled and slotted rotors with kevlar pads from EBC on my Lightning.. :shocked WOWEE!!!! Not only is there a huge improvement in stopping the dusting went way down from stock..

IMO

Unfortunately, QuietStops are not available for my car. However, I am going to get a set of Axxis Metal Masters for the front.
 
If you're willing to spend a little extra cash for some good pads, I suggest going with Stillen..



upgraded my rotors to Stillen Cross Drilled ones, and bought their pads.. i give them a 9... they are ABSOLUTELY incredible.. GREAT stopping power, and a lot less brake dust than before.. check them out
 
EBC's don't last long at all! I hear the axxis ultimates or their metal masters are the way to go. I also hear great thing on Hawks.

Since I have EBC's (kevlar pads), where did you see or hear this?

also, I had Hawk's after Performance Friction on my Mustang and they were not near as good as the Perf Friction..

I know about the EBC's from experience. Also if you search online for EBC brake pad reviews everyone says the same thing. They are good pads while they last but they don't last at all.
 
thinking to the pads not lasting is that something has to wear when you use your brakes.. I'd rather it be my pads rather than my rotors.. the EBC rotors werent exactly cheap.. but the system works very well for me..

Thanks

I like the EBC greenstuff pads, I've used them a second time all around with Zimmerman cross drilled rotors and like them. They're rotor friendly and perform good for stopping the car with less dust than the OE pads. The Metal Masters are a good pad too, I've used them in the past with good service.
 
Now the biggest challenge is finding a set of Brembo Blank Rotors for the Maxima. I have tried several places and they do not have any in stock yet. When they get them, I am going to put them on with the new pads.
 
I have a pair of EBC Greenstuff pads on order for my Protege. I bought them because people I've talked to say they are rotor and wheel friendly. Hopefully they will last too, I autocross my Protege and my stock pads are dead at 60k miles.
 
I have Mintex low-dust pads on the Audi S4 and love them. Dust was down to almost zip!
