Ultimate brake pad thread: What's the least noisy with minimal dust?
Sup all...
Man I guess my Z is getting old, LOL with 27k miles on it I am starting to get a rediculously loud squeaking sound from the front right side.
I'm certain this is b/c I need new brake pads--the sound comes on during braking and at very low speeds and is sooooo loud! It makes the car seem like a POS.
What is the ultimate/best brake pad for the LEAST amount of noise (none) and minimal brake dust? What does install usually run on this item?
Thanks!
Ravi

Probably Hawk HPS or Project Mu NS. I had Project Mu B-Force before and they had about 30% less dust than oem, but they squealed very loudly once in a while. And I put plenty of anti-squeal on it.

no I mean driving around wtih pads at their wear mark, which it sounds like you are at, will absolutely wreck a set of rotors beyond what resurfacing can cure, in no time

So I'm unsure--does that mean I should get new pads...asap...or conversely do I need new pads and rotors? Or just rotors? Sorry I'm somewhat of a noob at this.
Or LOL should I just buy a BBK =)

Gasazabi whassup playa. Thanks for the help in this thread. I have non-brembos. Still contemplating what to do. I just don't want to damage anything. Fortunately I don't drive the car too much these days, but I want to change this stuff sooner than later.
