Hey Guys, I Wash my car Faithfully and I Love the way my car looks when its clean(Black) but it dosent stay clean long lol. But to the real reason why I posted this thread, I wash my car constantly and I always notice that my Front rims get dirty before anything else,(I have Powdercoated Gold rims and they look Sick as Hell when thier Clean)I think its my brake dust sitting on my rims and I purchased the car a couple of months ago and I think It has stock Pads on, It just so happens that I also need new Front Pads as well. What are the BEST Pads for our cars AND is thier any Pad that would Minimise Brake Dust from getting on my rims? Thanks!

Pretty much anything will be a step down in performance. If you arent going to track it get some hawks. Lots of people have them.

Would Ceramic Brake Pads leave less brake residue? Do Hawks leave less brake dust on your rims?

Was going to mention the reds myself, I have Hawk HPS and the dust is great improvement over the stock ss pads.

HAWK HPS are much better than stock, in terms of break dust, and they're not bad at all for tracking too. in my experience, they stop just a little longer than stock but they don't fade.

Yea, the dust cut down is amazing to me lol. And they brake good once you get them heated up, bout threw myself out the windshield after someone pulled out infront of me.

Stay away from EBC reds, they have extremely short durability. They brake excellently for about 10k miles and then need to be replaced. I hear nothing but good things about Hawk.

Don't forget to replace your rotors.

They're too thin to turn if your pads are worn out.

Doubtful, not usually the case on this platform.

But get nice rotors anyway, that way you can get 100% of the performance out of your new pads. Trying to bed good pads into a worn out rotor just doesn't work.

THESE from R1 concepts.

I literally have ZERO dust. after highway runs, after backroad runs, after a day at the track, etc.
NO squeel either. This is honestly the only pads im running from here on out for any vehicle i own

This has been posted before somewhere but check this stuff out...

Armor All Wheel Protectant Mud test - YouTube

It will make cleaning or even just wiping off your rims easier.

wasnt something done to those rims though before this video was made. i remember reading something about this where it wasnt quite as good in real world results

Reklo87

There are more videos about this product than just this one though... I can't really say for myself. I have messed up stock wheels still so I have not use it yet. It is hard for me to just wash my car still. I hate using public car washes.

What rotors are these?

R1 concepts premium line - cross drilled

painted hats, and painted edges so you dont have any rust after rain/washes.

WELL worth it.

Sully20

Damn! I already ordered the EBC Redstuff Pads, Oh well, I mean, I've heard nothing but Good things about the Red stuff pads and I'm looking for better stopping power along with Minimal Dust and it looks like they will do both, But I would have liked to try the ones you posted as well tho, Thanks for all the info guys!

how are they under braking? I have crossed and drilled rotors(got a steal on them) and when I give it more then normal braking I get some vibrations. Its not a big deal but if the car does not sell I plan to get another set down the road.
