Let's talk Brake Pads - Low Dust

[jeffrosie6]

Looking to get Low Dust brake pads for the ISF. I'm sure quite a few of us have looked into this and I'm not sure there is a good option here in UK.

I’ve used EBC to good effect.  Redstuff are on the car at the moment though yellows are also good.

I have these on my car, not sure if Whifbitz still stock them, but very low dust residue:

Plus one for EBC on my LS430 - no complains about break dust

OEM?

[DamianLEX]

You must be joking!

Nope, found my OEM pads reasonable on dust. 

I wouldn't recommend potentially downgrading braking performance all for the sake of less brake dust.

Ceramic coat the wheels plus decent fallout remover and you're good to go.

OEM pads are a compromise between cost and function for the manufacturer. Not necessarily good, but good enough to just about pass the needs of the vehicle.

Having ran the EBC pads, I’d call them an upgrade…..

I use Powerstop Carbon Ceramics from RockAuto.com as a temporary measure and they're really good against OEM discs for dust and stopping power. Worth a pop for the casual driver.

If I go EBC, I'd go Yellow Stuff on the front and Red for the rear.

Also going to check out Rockauto for the Powerstop Ceramic

Also love the Gold pads on the car right now as the dust is literally 0

If I know the brand, they are the ones I go for.

Could be Dixcel Type Ms if gold and "Super Low Dust" apparently 😉

Agree with EBC. Upgraded to EBC ultimax which are their oem replacement series on my IS and the brake dust was significantly reduced. Before after few uses the wheels had lots of black dust. I went months without them turning black after the upgrade. Couldn't tell much of a difference in braking quality as mine is a hybrid.

Sound like Winmax to me

The Poterfield look very good too. Will have to research them more 👍
