Dusty brake pads
Can't find any useful info.
I have Stoptech 13' BBK in the front which came with Axxis Ultimates and I am running stock in the rear. The Axxis pads are so dusty, that I have to clean my wheels to at least once a week, which I do not like and the wheels are becomming scrached due to constant cleaning. Otherwise my front wheels are just covered in brake dust in a day or two of normal daily driving (less than 50 miles city driving daily).
I am thinking of swiching to EBC Greenstuff which claims to be 40% less dust.
Any experiences with these on Stoptech? Maybe anyone has handy part# of EBC Greenstuff for Stoptech 4 pot calipers?
Thanks.

You can always go with our low dust pad option, the Axxis Deluxe Plus. It has quite a bit less bite than the Ultimates, but you will almost never feel the need to clean your wheels due to brake dust. They have a list price of about $55 for the front set
I've been doing some more research and it looks like it is naive to expect good pad bite and little dust...
BTW, would changing the rear pads to better ones (I am running OEM now) help anyhow with the dust in the fronts?

I have the same issue. I have the same kit all around and can't stand the dust. I've talked to a couple of peolpe who are running the same set up, which they said to use Hawk HPS. Do they really work??? But that's what I'm going to put on next. I feel your pain with the wheel scratches!!! Goodluck!

Never sacrifice braking performance for looks...

If the brake dust is baked/stuck on the wheels (sometimes brake dust forms little "islands" or "cakes"), then I would wait until you wash to deal with it.

you are correct to a degree, but adding something like Axxis Ultimate in the rear will lead to a minor increase in front brake dust, with a major increase in rear brake dust. Instead of having really dirty front wheels, youll have 4 marginally less dirty wheels...pick your poison
