    Nah. I'd say Rabestos QS ceramics. I have the PBR metalmasters and wouldn't exactly call them low dust. Maybe "lower dust".

    Default i have a set of bosch ceramics...........

    nothing to complain about yet & they where not to expensive.
    not much of a difference in performance compared to metal masters.

    i have the axxis deluxe plus, think ill try the raybestos next time, these are great when hot but in regular driving you have to press the peddle harder than the previous pads...I pitch these things and they still look brand new...lol I cant wait 50-70k to try new ones!

    For street use, I've had great results with Mintex (red box) in a 928 S4 - so have a set ready for the 535i. A more progressive 'feel' than Textars/Jurids, and far less dust.
