Matty Moo Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Not sure what pads I have on my wagon now, but they dust bad. I'm thinking they're oem since the PO had all the maintenance done at the dealer. I can clean my wheels and 2 days later they're caked with dust. The shit's nasty. The spray wash won't take the stuff off even after I wax them. FCP is running 15% off this week, so I'll pick up some pads. They have Mintex, OEM, PBR Metallic and PBR organic. They say the organics are low dust, but I'd rather hear from somebody that's used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Lee Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I run the Mintex reds on all three of my 850s, they are a tad cleaner than OEM and so long as you grease and shim them they are quiet. ...Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCP Euro Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I also have the Mintex brake pads on my 850 and they do seem to dust, but not as bad as some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddyT5 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I've been running the Akebono Euro pads for a few months now, they've been great in terms of stopping power and dust. I live in an apartment and don't have access to a hose to wash my car, so it as been very nice that my wheels don't look like crap even though I only wash them every couple of weeks. The pads are a little more expensive than some of the others, but if you are concerned about dust I highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbon Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 A few years ago I ran a set of PBR organic. I was surprised and delighted at the significant reduction in dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
