If you can spend a little bit more money i would highly recommend the satisfied pro ceramic pads along with rotora slotted rotors. I installed them a few weeks ago and i have no regrets and no more vibration.

All brake pads produce brake dust...there is no such thing as a "no brake dust" pad.

what is your opinion on brake dust. is it worth $75. and do you notice a different performance wise with them?

I use $29.99 AutoZone ceramic pads for my cars!

Went 90K on the original set with city driving hope to get another 90K off of these! (well I may have to get new rotors before that)
