Default Pads w/ least amt of brake dust
I just got a new set of wheels and I've noticed how much dust my pads make compared to before from just normal street driing..

I want to get some feedback as to what set of pad would be best for producing the least amt of dust. I just drive on the streets, no track/autocross duty..

I've been told that OEM pads from the AP1 would be my best bet as the AP2 pads are a bit more aggressive and thus may produce more dust..

Looking to replace these aftermarket pads very soon..

TIA..

do you notice more dust in the front than the rear? only the front pads changed from AP1 to AP2. rear pads are the same part #.

agree.

if you do not plan to track/autocross get hawk hps pads. They have 0 dust, but if you start tracking your car they WILL NOT last long.

My understanding is ceramic is hard on rotors and will reduce it's life
