I've never tried ceramic pads but I had some decent luck with kevlar pads.

Metalmaster makes a set that has less brake dust. Now keep in mind, there is not such pad that is completely dust free. They are dust less.

I've also used EBC green stuff but those caused pad transfers and ruined a set of rotors. Which can be fixed by having the rotors turned, if you don't have slotted or drilled rotors.

I also recommend Axxis Ultimate pads but they dust more.

What I've found is that you want to go with a company that produces consistent pads. EBC in my opinion do not produce consistent pads. I had 2 bad sets but my buddy had a good set. Purchased 6months apart.

Axxis Ultimate are great, as well as metalmasters.
Thanx for that reply,

First, yes...i know that no pad is dust free, just "less" dust.

What would you consider a "bad" pad? I got a set of Wearever Silvers from Advance Auto Parts and installed them about 3 months ago. Afterwards i started to experence vibrations when braking. Would this most likely mean i got a bad set of pads?

One more question, all these brands that you are mentioning. Do all major parts stores carry them? Or are they specific to certain ones?

Again, thanx for the reply, this will help with my next brake pad purchase...
