Brake pads for Brembos

[tangcla]

Any recommendations for brake pads for Brembos? I want low dust and low noise.

Don't choose EBC reds then...take a while to stop making noise.....fantastic pad though
Others include....
Ferodo DS25000 noisy and chew your rotors.
Lucas TRW quite a dusty pad.
SBS Ceramics
Elig 2021
Mintex Xtreme

Have you tried calling Adam at Tu Speed yet?

Dixcel type m. Low dust and no noise. Type z for the track dusty though

Give Adam a ring Clarence - Ben just got some Endless from him supposed to be low dust low noise. I have some Elig 2021's which I haven't fitted yet, so can't comment.

Thanks guys.
Chris - sure you need to fit those pads of yours? Maybe I can use them in the meantime

[Greenman]

I've got some used Brembo standard pads....if you are interested...may tie you over till you decide on others....depending on how bad yours are currently..

I asked about the Endless before. The brake shop recommended them for heavy street or track use. Which usually means they tend to squeal and give off a dust. Still happy with the Dixcels Types M and/or Z. But of course I know you won't go down that route.

Good alternative to the Dixcel's are the Hawk ceramic, maybe not quite the initial cold bite, but ultimate stopping power is there and less $$

zero noise (not even in reverse where the OEM pads squealed) and very little dusting at all

What is the secret to bedding them in? I had a set on the rears and they were friggen loud in any direction…..drove me nuts

The Hawks were much cheaper, and are very quiet with practically zero dust. Bite was a bit better than the stock Brembo pads. However, for me at least, once they reached about 6,000 - 7,000 km, they started producing dust pretty badly. I chucked them out and got a new set. Sure enough, they started to produce dust after about 6-8 months of driving.

Yes need to bed properly (arith this also maybe your dusting problem too if you didn't bed them right in the beggining)

60-80kmh applications down to 10kmh (not full stops) 6-8 times and progressively stronger as you go.

Then a cooling cycle (slowly cooling) and a couple of good high speed applications.

all good

Mine are only in the 2 pot calipers and not the rear (yet) but have only the cold bite comment to make on the HPC's. Otherwise a fantastic pad for my use (general everyday driving and occasional hard road use). Not particularly dusty with the DBA 4000 and 2 pots either

Dixcel type M, I run them on the front of my Brembos. They stop well and are noise/dust free. The standard Brembo pads at the rear squeal in reverse and they are very dusty.I will also be changing the rear to Dixcel type M.

Actually Tony,

Just had another thought - did you use plenty of the supplied paste between the backing plates/pads and pistons?

My EBC Reds are finally shutting up......after 2000 klms of driving...YAY!!!!!!
