What break pads do you use
I am getting ready to buy some SS brake lines and new brake pads. As of right now, my current pads are Axxis Ultimate (ceramic), and I think these pads are crappy! I have Brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors, and I have to clean my rims from brake dust almost everyday. Can you guys tell me what pads wont cause as much dust.

Check out Porterfield pads. I running them on my GS400 and not only do they perform exceptional well but keep the wheels relatively clean.
I had EBC Green Stuff and didn't like their stopping power; although they were clean.

I had axxis metal master on my old gs3 and I liked them. I have axxis ultimates on my gs4 now and I dont like them....way too much dust. It's also hard to modulate...pretty much just ON/OFF. I have hawk hps on my nissan 240sx and i like them. My next pads for my gs4 will be axxis mm or hawk hps.

Thanks for the input everyone, I ordered some Axxis Deluxe from Carsons along with some SS brake lins, rear shim kit, and some TM plugs. I hope the deluxe pads are better. I spoke to Gordon and he told me that the metal masters were very dusty as well.

GS400 1999 Steering
Hi Guys!
Sorry for going off topic a little but one reply mentioned L tuned steering.
L tuned steering ECU what exactly are the benefits of this system?
My Power steering at the moment is sucky. In wintertime I have to literally do push ups to build up my strength in order to be able to steer when it's stationary. It's easier when it's in motion.
This should not be, am I right?
