do the sport brake pads make a lot of dust?
Since I haven't gotten my car yet and will be doing some mods when it comes in, will I need to switch to a low dust pad for the street? (I always switch pads for track days)
|
What?
no the stock sport package brake pads are not dusty. |
thanks, I figured not since I didn't read any threads with complaints, but wanted to be sure.
|
no complaints here.

After 1K miles I do not believe that they are as bad as the OEM's on my old 03. But they still make more dust than the Ceramic's I put on
:tiphat: |

Mike...These things are almost dust free.... No issues whatsoever

You know, it's funny. I was actually staring at my front wheels this morning thinking that it was freaky how clean they are, considering I haven't washed my car in 3 weeks. I am absolutely amazed at how little brake dust there is. I'm so used to brake dust that I feel like it's wrong for my wheels to be so dust free, like the laws of physics have been violated or something. lol

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. :rofl2:
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. |
Actually, I was pleasantly surprised that the sport brakes don't dirty up the wheels in a few days like some cars.. I can go 2 weeks without a wash and the wheels look really good still under a lot of stop and go driving.

I don't track my car. The stock Sport brake pads are barely dusty compared to the stock pads in my '03 Enthusiast 350Z (wheels turn gunmetal after a week!).
|
Even after a day at an HPDE, the front rims looked incredibly clean. I too am amazed at how little dust these pads produce.
