Is this the one I need to buy it ?

I'm about to change my brake pads to low dust OEM pads. Can you update to see if you find out that is the issue? I hear that there should be little or no difference between low dust OEM and the normal ones.

The difference in feel is immediately apparent. The high friction pads are very grabby, producing lots of stopping force with very little pedal effort. The low dust pads are more progressive, requiring more pedal effort to stop the car quickly, which make them easier to modulate.

^Good choice! After the install AND a proper bed-in, report back.

^Find a long, empty stretch of road. Luckily I have plenty out where I live. You don't have to do it immediately after the pad change; but the same day is best.
