after Market Brake pads
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 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.

I upgraded a
few thousand miles ago to dimpled and slotted rotors with kevlar pads from EBC on my Lightning..  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

Actually, Stillen pads are Axxis Metal Masters. I found that out when I was upgrading my brake pads on my '94.

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.

I guess my only
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
Dana
