I'm going to do a front brake upgrade soon and want to get some pads with very low dusting. The idea behind the upgrade is to improve stopping power, so I don't want to give up stopping power for lower dust by going with ceramic pads.

Upgrade will be Legend dual-piston calipers and Centric Power Slot slotted rotors and SS hoses.

01tl4tl recomended some pads awhile back as being maximum stopping with hardy any dust, but I cannot find that post again.

Main choices seem to EBC Greenstuff, Hawk, Racing Brake and StopTech

I like RacingBrake rotors and pads
pads ET300 for normal human driving and some backroads fun
quiet, low dust, Note see my post of cleaning and waxing rims for lowest dust retention

et500 pads are more aggressive in bite-which you may want with the upgrade in calipers etc

their pads work best on their rotors and rotors outlast any others I have used

compare price to centric, ck mrheeltoe threads in sponsored sales for coupon code in his signature

So it was the RB ET300s you were talking about. How is the dust on ET500s compared to the ET300s??

And, the RacingBrake rotors are $85+ higher than what I can get the Centric for, so that ain't happening on this budget. I'm sure the RB pads are high$$ too, but I might bite the bullet for just the front ones...

i use akebono pro act ceramic pads, love them, very very little dust. great bite and no noise also last pretty long.

i have RB rotors and et500 pads on the front. I wax my rims regularly. Dust collects on the lip noticeably to me within 2 days. anything after 4 days and everyone notices when standing next to the car. ymmv

with your rotors, i might go with rotora, hawk hps or even stoptech pads.

EBC red stuff is low dust pad, with great performance. i highly recommend them if your looking for great performance and low dust. the only thing that really dusted on these pads was the break in coating, after that it takes the better part of 2 weeks before i can tell there is dust on my rims.

x2 on akebono, very low dust good braking power. I bought some Bendix pads and they are the worst, very very dusty.
