Best Brake Pads

Joker_J · 08-01-2016, 09:59 AM

Looking to purchase some brake pads when I change the tires on the Z.
Which brake pads are the best that don't build up too much brake dust?

Stock. For normal street driving, the OEM pads are fine for low noise and dust. More aggressive pads will make more noise and dust, and might not work as well when they're cold.

I use Stoptech pads for daily use. Low dust and better bite than stock pads.

They're also decently priced.

I bought Red EBC recently.They are quiet, min dust and bite good for daily driver. OEM calipers and wheels but upgraded SS brake lines. rotors were turned at 76k.

Stoptech is the way to go, although they do heat up stock rotors badly.

I plan on changing the rotors to the slotted ones once I'm ready lol
I bought some rear Z1 slotted rotors for Sports package with around 3K miles already on it. So Stop Tech it is!

I use centric posiquiet pads as my daily pads, I have not used other than OEM for daily so I have no comparison. They don't produce much dust, and basically zero dust compared to my track pads

Oreillys or autozone anyone? Or rotors from them as well?

I have Hawk HPS and they provide great initial bite and minimal brake dust.
