Think I need new brake pads (at least, maybe rotors too, but probably sticking with stock rotors) for my 97EX. What pads are you all using and what do you recommend? Thx.

 

I use Honda/Nissin pads but I've heard Hawk pads are good. As for Rotors get the Brembo Blank rotors (exactly the same as stock but made by Brembo) and they are really good quality and won't warp as easily as crappy stock rotors.

 

I have white wheels....

:madfawk: F&%@ Brake Dust!!! :madfawk:

what are some good brake pads with very little dust?

 

aem pads have very little dust, or so ive heard.

i have black rims, and my fronts are also brown due to the semi metalic pad i use.

 

I have had the aem brake pads for about 4 months now and I have no complaints so far. They leave very little dust on my wheels. The dust that is left behind is more difficult to see since the pads are lighter in color.

 

I have white wheels too. I don't think you're going to find anything that doesn't give off dust. I use Nissin.

 

I use AEM pads and I get much less dust than I did with my stock pads. The pad wear seems a lot slower to.

 

You cannot have a great pad with no dust. It's very contradictory.

I had EBC GReen stuff = CRAP!

I've had AEMs for two years and good so far. I was going to switch to Hawk HP+ pads which have more stopping power than AEMs but some say they are not friendly to rotors.

Another thing you should consider when switching to new pads is upgrading the brake fluid. I went to Valvoline SynPower and my braking power is more consistent than before.

 

I second that. It's like saying I want turbo, but I still want 40mpg.
