do the sport brake pads make a lot of dust?

I too am amazed at how dust free these pads are. My 05 STi went through stock, Ferodo DS2500's and PFC-01's...and all of them were dusty as hell. 370Z seems to not have much brake dust at all.

excellent! Then that being said, how are they for track days? dust free and good for the track usually don't coexist.

There is a built in protection mechanism for the brakes, when they start to get too hot the engine will go into limp mode to slow you down.

If you do have an oil cooler installed then you will get to experience fade in the stock pads. Track pads are necessary and will dust a lot, but on the upside they are pretty easy to swap in and out.
