Default Brake Dust
Looking for tips on replacing my brake pads. The factory pads seem to produce a lot of dust on my whitewalls. Anything better for this? I have factory rotors too,and really dont want to eat them up.

I recommend the EBC or Lyndall pads, they make virtually no dust.

I have replaced my HD pads with Lyndalls and it has made a slight difference in dust. My rims are gloss black so I don't think I will ever get away from the road dust and brake dust showing.

Know nothing about Lyndalls, I'm sure they are good no doubt. Have always been happy with EBC pads although, they seem to last also.

After I put a set of Lyndals Z-plus on.. I've used nothing else. VERY little dusting,, VERY good braking and they don't fade nearly as easy as the stockers and they last longer than the stock HD pads..

Plus they are almost exactly the same price as HD's,, Ordered mine from Dennis Kirk.. two of them if $100 you also get free shipping..
