    Default Low/no dust brake pads?

    I'm looking for a consensus on a "dustless" brake pad to be used with regular replacement rotors. No hard driving requirements.
    Cold braking, good pedal feel and clean wheels are what I'm looking for.
    What is the wisdom of this board?

    I put Akebono Euro ceramics on Lori's E39, zero dust, the stopping power is close to the same as is the cold performance. Patrick at BMA hooked me up last spring. No complaints, the wife even noted how clean her wheels were and when we were looking at newer 5 series for her, she asked if I could put those brakes on the new car too...

    Hope this helps,

    I love my Raybestos QS. No dust, no noise.

    Default I 2nd the Akebono ceramic euros....

    don't think they bite quite as hard as my previous PBR metal masters, (which weren't bad on dust)..but these are virtually no dust, and what there is seems a very light grey... recommend.

    Thanks guys.
    The Metal Master/ Axxis is what I'll recommend for a friend. And blame it on you guys if he doesn't like 'em.
