Brake Job

I am replacing the pads on all four wheels and would like to reduce the dust produced by the front Bembros. Any suggestions for the best performance and least dust? I may have to replace the rotors and wonder if slotted or perforated are worth the extra money for looks and performance.

For stock rotors, stay with stock pads. I love the Brembos minus the brake dust.

But, if you want to upgrade, try RacingBrake. Top notch rotors/pads!

Go slotted rotors, not drilled.

BTW, welcome. Hope this helps!

I'm in same boat - my rotors are fine and I don't mind the dust too much - just have to clean well and treat the paint regularly. Looking at RB et300 pads. Rear pads look to be fine still. Anything else worth considering? et300 pads okay with stock rotors? Performance similar to OEM? 07 TL-S (brembo)

Thanks for the advice. For now I am going with the Duralast Gold CMAX pads.

wash and wax the rims on both sides- use synthetic car wax, 3 coats and brake dust slides off, and your wheel paint looks as nice as the rest of the car

Most aftermarket pads are going to be a step down in performance. If you aren't willing to live with that, then get the OE pads.

The dust like hell, but the stock brembo pads do offer the best performance for the car.
