best brake pads
I do`t know what i have on my vert but my wheels never get brake dust on them. Now my z is a totally different story, acouple days after i clean that thing the wheels are dirty. So what do you guys think is the best brake pads too buy for my z?

Re: best brake pads
you may have performance pads or cheepies on the Z as the normaly make more dust. also you probably drive the Z harder so that will cause more brake dust.
Pull the Verts pads and look at the part numbers.

Re: best brake pads
the sofest(organic) pads are the messiest and wear down the rotors the least but arent very heat resistant
the semi metallics are heat resistant and not very messy at all but wear down the rotors alot faster
the ceramics i have no idea but are suposed to be the highest resistance to heat and i dont know how much they wear rotors down
you have to figure out what you want
longer lasting rotors, or cleaner wheels
or if you have a brake fade issue then you will have no choice but to get semi metallic or better
usually organic came from factory except in some packages
and usually the metallics came from factory on service duty vehicles such as 9C1 and 9C6 packages and so on
good luck
