Front Brake Pads
I'm looking to replace the front brake pads. The OEM pads produce too much black dust. Lexus had a low dust pad replacement for my IS but I don't see one for the GX.
I found these and was wondering if anyone has used them or could recommend any other low dust replacements.

Koz,
Give it some time. Those break pads do not give that much dust. I had the performance pads on GS350 which were terrible and Lexus replaced for regular. I could wash my wheels everyday. With GX I do it once a week.
I have noticed that when the GX was new I had more dust. Maybe this is due to pads being new or because wheels had some protector and the dust sticked more.

I agree, on my BMW's the wheels would be dirty in one day. Not on my GX.

there is no black dust on my gx wheels
if you use the hawkpads, be advised, they need to be warmed up before having effective stopping power. they dont work well when you first drive the car, but produce less dust....

I'll give it a little more time. Right now it takes about 3 to 4 days and there is dust, not real heavy but noticeable. I could live with this if I had to but with the low dust pads on my IS, I can go up to a week or two without dust. Brake dust will kill the wheel's clear coating if not removed ASAP!
