I need to know what kind of brakes dont give off brake dust or barely any. I wash my car and the next frigin day the rims that are hard as hell to clean are dirty and my car looks like @$$ again. PLEASE HELP this is pissing me off to no end, thank you.

 

aftermarket rotor shields are made, check summit jegs ,. etc

 

I dont want my car to look gay, and have rotor shields. I just want a pad that doesnt give off so much brake dust.

 

A side from going to a harder OE type pad, you'll have to live with it.

My Vette is horriable with brake dust. I have a set of those super brute stops or what ever, and I go through these things every year or so. The stoping power is awsome, but they wear super quik (ie brake dust) like a good set if soft tires.

It's a give take...Best stopping power = brake dust = HP Pads; Less stoping power = less brake dust = Stock or cheaper pads.

I'll live with the brake dust, before I put a set of mini-van pads on my car.

 

I've heard that there are brake pads that make less dust, i know ive heard this. But i have no idea who makes them, but search around, i m sure someone on this board knows

 

Been using Performance Friction Z-Rated pads for six months now with NO brake dust problem on my wheels. IN fact no dust at all even after 1200 mile trip to Florida this past month.

 

i have to look into those, i too am tired of brake dust making my rims look like crap...

 

Where do you get these 'superpads'? I would really love to get them if you would be so kind to tell. thanks

 

Oh man, I probably would'nt have any brake dust either cruising down the interstate. I can probably go 3000 mile without an ounce of brake dust.
Let me correct my statement above...'Using the' Best stopping power = (snip snip)

I have yet to use a better all around pad for street and light track use that has a great sweet spot, long life, better initial bite, and very low dust than Stillens metal-matrix. They are on both of my street cars, and have been off and on for years in the mist of sometimes trying others-- I always go back to these.http://www.stillen.com/brakepros.asp

 

I too am using the PF Z-Rated and though the dust is present, it's not as bad as other brake pads I've had. I have also run the car with a set of Raybestos QuietStop pads. The cold stopping power was ok, but as the pads got hotter the stopping power diminished. The up side was there was NO dust.
