you might want to stay away from the EBC stuff if you want minimal dust. I have the Green stuff ceramic on my GS4 and the dust is RIDICULOUS. They stop like nothing else, but they make all sorts of crazy dust. Also, just know that with the ceramics, you will get squealing. Its not a constant squeal, but it will happen.

I switched to Satisfied Pro Perform OEM Pads after the rears wore out and have very MINIMAL dust. I got them at Tirerack.com for a damn good price too. No squealing, and very low dust, but the stopping power is not as prominent as the EBC pads.

I like EBC, but not on a Luxury Car that you want to keep clean and quiet.

you want good stopping but no dust, man they are almost always opposite......

and why would you want red stuff, that's racing pads. first of all, when cold, they don't stop at all. not good for normal driving. and when they work, they dust a lot....

ebc green is good, and i have hawk hps. honestly i don't have much dust at all, i love mine, much more than the ebc green i had before

Well i have the Ebc Red and Green and I really don't have any issues with Tons of brakes dust.. I have edc red in the front because thats what came with the used Supra rotors i bought... Apparently they work better as they heat up after driving conditions.. Now the Green stuff i have in the rear and during the break in period i noticed alot of dust but now its fine... and i aslo don't have any squeaking either... I guess everyone has there own preference but like i said the Red kind came with the rotors... I guess there's alot of EBC haters out there...

ebc geens are not ceramic they are carbon kev

ebc red stuff are ceramic based

greens not designed for the weight of our cars will heat check rotors and score

reds offer better heat dip and because they are ceramic based offer very little if any black dust , the dust they emit tends to be clear and they do not make noise

i purchased the Endless NA-M pads. i LOVED them.. im talkin like ZERO brake dust. they are made for luxury vehicles. i havent had a chance to test the other ones all the members are discussing but ive heard pros/cons of each. i havent heard anything bad about the Endless pads.. besides the fact they are like $200 a set


www.endlessusa.com

i think the pad name is now Super Street Sports-M after lookin at the web site
good luck!

I've been having the same struggle Lexism, so many opinions that it's hard to choose one. After breaking in your Axxis Deluxe pads please be so kind as to post again with your thoughts on them... thanks.
