Having recently install 20" Vossen CV4 Polished/Silver wheels after 2 days front wheels are coated with black dust. Has anyone successfully replaced their front brake pads with a low dust ones?

I did a quick search and found the following. Sent a email to SP Performance and hopefully will get a reply soon.

I wonder if the TSB that addresses the squeak will have pads that create even more (softer pads) or less (harder) dust?

Ok so i have been wondering the same thing because my brake dust is way out of hand. back in 2006 I had a 745LI with some 21's and the brake dust was just as bad or worse so I go some Akebono pads back then and they were amazing when it came brake dust. I did notice a slight drop in stoping power but for me it was way worth it.

I just found these.

I'm experiencing a lot of brake dust also but I went with CV7s in graphite so you can't tell whether there's dust or not, which is pretty awesome. The issue I have now is every time I wash them then drive, rust colored water sprays all over the wheels from inside the rotors.

It's available for the F sport AWD, not the RWD. Not sure is there a difference?

I saw that! I would only buy the fronts anyway because the rears don't kick up much dust. I wonder if there is a difference from AWD to RWD?

The F-Sport RWD has larger rotor than the F-Sport AWD and also uses different caliper and brake pad. What is interesting is the pad on the RWD is smaller than the AWD. I recall someone posted the Lexus service spec sheet for the different brakes and pads. I am trying to search for it.

Search the web and found a company Bendix (Honeywell) that has a direct replacement. Due to my location and time difference it is very difficult for me to contact them. Sent them a email and hope they can confirm on the application. They do show the difference in F-Sport RWD and non F-Sport and F-Sport AWD.

They currently do not have pads that will work on the the F-Sport RWD models. They will correct the website.

you do not want to put Bendix on ur car, u will regret it. trust me, the best option for low brake dust is Akebono.

It appears options for F-Sport pads are limited right now. Are they available by Akebono yet?

I used Centric Posiquiet in my StopTech calipers for daily driving and I thought they worked great. They are also unavailable yet for F-Sport.

POSIQUIET pads are very good pads, but nothing yet on the F Sport,I can find out when it will be available.

The front is not available yet, but the rear ones are.

Since we don't have any options, try Wolf's Rim Shield. It keeps the dust off to a certain extent, and when there is dust it is much easier to clean. Detailer's Domain carries it.
