Brake pads for Akebono with Less Brake Dust?

GOBLUE

Any other opinions on the OEM pads versus the Centric pads for dust? It sounds like a split decision on which actually produces less dust.

On a different note, any concerns with squeal or other noise on the drilled/slotted rotors with OEM or Centric pads? I've been eyeing the sport brake package from Z1, strictly for daily driver with some spirited driving of course! Unfortunately most tracks won't let the roadster on for open track days unless I put roll bars in, which ain't happening.

The hoops have large (steel I think) bars up thru them, welded to a steel cross member . They are hard to see, you really have to climb in there with the top about half up/down. I did not put a magnet on them to see if it is steel or aluminum. But I sure drove it on the track and auto cross.

That's good to know! The track by my house has a requirement that the top of your helmet has to be a certain amount below the roll hoops. The stock hoops aren't tall enough for that, but perhaps other tracks have more relaxed rules. Worth some digging..
