Default brake pads

going to be changing my rear tire this spring. figure that i might as well change my brake pads as well. i find that the original brake pads create a lot of brake dust. are there pads out there that create less dust?

I'll deal with the brake dust....

Hard to beat the Brembos on your 09. I have 24K on mine and they stop as good now as on mile 1. Will be swapping them out for new stock pads in the next couple weeks.

Go with the stock pads for your Brembo brakes. The brake dust means they are working and not getting too hot. Harder aftermarket pads that produce less dust will warp your rotors, takes a lot more pressure to get them to work good and that builds up a lot of heat.

I would rather wear my pads down than my rotors.
