Best compromise between dusting and effectiveness Which pads stop the best for the least amount of dust produced!? Why shouldn't I just get OE pads again? They were always very low dust for me, and that's important, these friggin blue wheels are a PITA to keep clean <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
Also, what's the correct bedding process? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Will be putting on AutoZone rotors at the same time.

Re: Best compromise between dusting and effectiveness Where can I get them, how much, and how are they on the rotors? The last one is kind of a moot point, since I'll be getting AZ rotors with the lifetime warranty <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Re: Best compromise between dusting and effectiveness Another vote for raybesto's ceramic's . Best of both worlds little dust, less rotor wear = metallic's use ferrous metal in pads ceramics use non-ferrous metals. Raybesto's is everywhere + they make pads for car quest that are the same parts.

I put an end to them by melting them from a hard brake from 145 to 70. Never again will get them.

Re: Best compromise between dusting and effectiveness Did you buy the ceramic's ? They probably have 3 different grade pads for a f-body. + if your beatin' the sh#! out of your car at those speeds don't go ceramic use metallic's or better yet upgrade your entire brake system.
