Default Advice on PADS & ROTORS... Please!

I need to replace my brakes really soon.

Im trying to find the best set of DUSTLESS brake pads I can get.

Any ideas?

Also would like some advice on what rotors I should use if I decide to also replace those. I've been told that I will most likly need to replace the front rotors due to them warping which is common on the GS?

....thanks

sorry, just realized I thread jacked..


Usual drawback of dustless pads is the reduction of stopping power. I rather have dirty wheels and be able to stop over clean wheels and not being able to stop as fast any day (Except for days the car just sits pretty in the garage).

As far as rotors.. I would just get blanks from 88Rotors.. they're made by the same manufacturer as Brembo, but costs a bit less! Cross drilled and slotted rotors are more for looks than real world application in a street car.

ceramic pads will give you the least amount of dust...but some of them are noisy and eat your rotors like the cookie monster
