Brake pad recommendations?

[mAkI]

It's time for me to replace my brake pads. Any brands you guys can suggest that are high performance yet easy on brake dust? I'm okay replacing the brake rotor as well the dust is bad with the oem pad/rotor combo

You wore out the pads already? May I ask how many miles, and how car is driven? Thx. As far as pads, the most common one for our cars is from StopTech (there are 2 different kinds: street and sport), and the cheapest place to buy them is RockAuto. I decided to leave the stock ones. Read several negative reviews of pad material coming loose, so decided to be safe, and just clean the wheels more often. I have zero issues with the stock pads, except the excessive dust. But I'm more function than form, so decided to leave them alone. Hope this helps. Good luck.

25k miles. L.a stop and go traffic will do a number on your car

I doubt I’ll ever wear mine out with 6500 miles in 22 months. But if I did they would be Powerstop‘s. Great pads, virtually no dust.

Many folks on here recommend them.

Same here, great deal!

I'd definitely go with the Hawks, over the StopTechs... if you insist in deviating from the excellent (but dusty) stockers.

Stock ones were very nice with their stopping power indeed. I'm doing some research if ceramic coating the rims would prevent any brake dust

My Rims are ceramic coated, it helps but with the stock pads it's still a nightmare

Ceramic coating will make your wheels a snap to clean but it doesn't "prevent" anything. The pad material determines the amount of dust.

That wouldn't prevent brake dust (nothing does, except replacing pads), but certainly would make it easier to clean. That's what I did (removed the wheels), but haven't washed the car again, to see how effective it was. I didn't want to compromise the awesome braking performance this car has, especially when the stock pads don't make any noises. So will put up with the dust, and retain the braking performance and feel a proper V8 car should have .

I am upgrading to the 6 piston Brembo brakes and I just ordered the Hawk ceramic pads for the front. Do I replace the rear also?

 

[Elp_jc]

I definitely would, but up to you. They're pretty cheap, and easy to replace, so no reason not to IMO.

 

[OrangCrush]

Which ones would go good with the ceramic pads? I just seen those type for the front.
