I've done a search but need more. I want to change my front pads as i cant stand all the dust they put on my wheels. I dont track my car and feel im pretty easy on the brakes. my car has 20k on it so the rotors should be fine, what would be a good set of pads that have little to no dust, they must be quiet also, all recommendations welcome, thanks..

i had hawks and switched over to project mu on my brembo setup...love the mu's, the hawks are a bit soft until they warm up and they suck trying to stop if the rotors are submerged a little in water

yes alot of people talk about hawks but i dont want pads that need to warm up etc. im fine w/ the factory pads performance just cant deal w/ all the damn brake dust. so stop shaking your head zand02max,lol. what do you think of ebc's greenstuff?

+1 on the Hawk HPS pads. You are probably also going to need new rotors (or at least get them turned). Mine were very worn at about 20K.

Look into Project Mu or Endless Vita Nuova.

If you search and read enough threads, you'll find out that the Hawks are not all they're cracked up to be.

I'm running EBC Greenstuff now on non-Brembo's and really like them. Way less dust, low noise and good bite. Plus they are priced well.

i will check rotors when i change them out, but i doubt i will have to do anything, im not agressive on the brakes, the stock pads still have tons of meat left also. this sucks though still everyone has a diff opinion. i dont want to spend 90+ on pads either. I'm 50/50 on the hawks with some say good,others say suck. havent heard alot about ebc except no/low dust?

I have been REALLY happy with my Satisfied Pro Ceramic Pads. Pretty Much No dust, quiet and have great cold stopping power.

I like my Project MU's all around. But since you don't care about track or anything, Hawks should be all you need.

As far as rotors are concerned, I would really have them resurfaced. I resurface my rotors everytime I change my pads. It doens't matter how easy you are on them, after time the surface is not smooth anymore, why put a smooth pad on a rotor that won't make 100% contact. That will just reduce the contact area and decrease your brake performance.

I switched over from stock to the Hawk street pads and love them, long life, no noise, low dust and better braking. I also went ahead and got slotted / drilled rotors & stoptech SS brake lines with my setup. Looks and performs real well, would deff. buy these pads again.

no brakes work well, by nature, when they are submerged in water

Project Mu makes excellent pads...they are just so scarcely stocked in the US that it's ridiculous

The HPS is a great all around, OE replacement pad that lasts a good long while and dusts less than stock. The trick to making them, or any pad, work well, is proper break in, and mating them to a rotor that is within factory specs. For more performance, and a very good price, the HP + are an excellent pad, though they will emit more dust than an HPS

If low dust is your primary goal, get something ceramic

We have both the Project U NS and B Force pads IN STOCK for the BREMBO and Non BREMBO.
