im looking for long life very low dust pads for my cx calipers and brembo blank rotors..right now im using napa metallic pads and they make alot of dust...i was told ebc green stuff makes alot of dust and dont last long..what about hawk or axas? axis?(not sure of the spelling) are those any good?

AEM pads are a good choice. I am using them as well. Although I may try some hawk hps or carbotech bobcats.

yea 2 local shops are telling me that i should get axxis pads because they are cheap compared to ebc green stuffs and last alot longer with alot less dust so im thinking of getting those(they are about 50 bucks for the front end of my car) i have drums in the back does anyone make better pads for drums or not?

Which has least dust: Axxis or AEM pads?

Where is the best place to get them from?

I need them ASAP!

Thanks!

you guys are gonna have to clear something up for me. How can you seriously be into performance modifications and be worried about something as meaningless as brake dust? Do you not wash your car semi-often? I run Hawk HP+ and wash my car about once every three weeks, sure the wheels are black by then, but who gives a ****, I can stop on a dime from any speed whenever I want. I don't mean to flame, but worrying about brake dust is like contemplating which air freshner to chose at the gas station.

exactly how i feel

Im running cobal friction GT Sports
sure they dust more than OEM......but who gives a f*ck when the stopping power is simply awesome.....stopping has become just as fun as accelerating

I my axxis ultimates. Cheap, avarage dust, and after hard driving for a year i still have about 40% life left.

i agree

however rotor life IS important to me so this brings up the next topic for discussion, how are hawkhp+ on rotors? how do they compare to the greestuff, axis and carbotech?

SamB16

rotor life is not great with HP+. I'll give you a rundown of my setup and you can decide for yourself. Initially my setup was on an EH Si running the aformentioned HP+ pads, 11" Brembo rotors, and CRV calipers. The car did have some major track time, plus hard street driving. After about 10 000 miles the pads were at about 50%, and the rotors as well. So under extreme circumstances it seems to be about a set of rotors per set of pads, but I have seen guys go 2 or 3 sets of pads per set of rotors. If you are worried, then go with the Hawk HPS, not as agressive, but they do brake very well (better then EBC Green Stuff).

I hope that helps you out.
