What brake pads!!?!?! 4th gen

[JoeliusZ28]

alright the front pads on my 95 are nearly on the squealers so i gotta replace them this summer.

the reason i am asking this question is for one reason and ONE reason only.

Are there any pads out there that are known to produce less brake dust!?!?!

I can drive my car for months without ever washing it, but my front wheels are covered in brake dust after 30 miles. Its extremely annoying. I understand that this is just the way brakes are, but there has to be some better than others. what has everyone had good results with here?

I thought Ceramic brakes made less dust? Maybe not? But is seems like everybody uses Hawkes.

ceramic should make for less dust, you'll have to pay for them though

[JoeliusZ28]

is there any specific brand i should look for? I use raybestos on my truck, i think they are ceramic but they still make some dust.

[Keego Ridah]

what do you have on there right now a semi-met or an organic?

[JoeliusZ28]

i have no idea whats on the car right now, they were on the car when i bought it. all i know is that they smother my bright silver wheels in dust in no time flat. Ive always carried a rag with me specifically for wiping the front wheels off.

i have bosch's on the rear and those make about 1/6th of the dust the fronts do, but they dont do nearly as much work.

I was going to do the C5 swap, but i decided id rather just buy pads and actually get the cam swap done before the next decade gets here.

I have hawks on my car and don't notice any dust.

[JoeliusZ28]

hmmm..think I need to do a brake job int he summer.. yea..I get very bad brake dust and its very very annoying..once you take your sweet time detailing the car and take it out for a spin so everyone see's it..you get back home and boom..there is fresh new brake dust

[meissen]

Even on my v6, you take the time detailing it so it looks sweet, by the time you get out of the neighborhood the rims are dirty.
