Brakes pads?

[tissimo]

I need to get new brakes for my sup.. but not sure what pads to get. Its a daily driver, stock. I want something that works well, but has very low dust (i'm lazy and hardly wash my car). What do you all recommend

I will be getting new blank rotors as well.

Either the SS ceramic line of pads from NAPA or the Thermo Quiet from O'Reily's. Both are great stock performing pads.

or even OEM toyota pads they are also low dust

Nothing if you have to ask for it.

I've had toyota pads before and they dusted quiet a bit.. Of course it could of been my old cards slotted and drilled rotors as well.

I've heard good things about ceramic before.. Do they make a rear pad? I can only find a front pad online.

Advanced autoparts has a raybestos ceramic front pad for a few bucks cheaper. Any advantages/disadvantages of either?

I have run Advanced and AutoZone pads on all my daily drivers. Never had any issues with them :dunno:

I havent found a ceramic for the rear of our cars yet. A qaulity semi-metalic does very well on the back and doesnt produce much dust.

I cannot comment on Advance brakes as I have never used them before. I have had issues with AZ pads in the past.

EBC red pads are ceramic and make for the rear, lol

I run porterfield rs4 pads and brembo blanks. Pads and rotors work great for street use, they are smooth and quiet, but very dirty. I purchased this combo because I was told the porterfields are cleaner, not by my standards.

EBC-Green pads. low dust and there inexpensive

 

[bowsercake]

Porterfield pads, Brembo blank rotors, and Motul fluid are a sure bet

Pagid Fast Road pads on mine - good stock pedal feel, but much better than the EBC's imo

I agree. I've been very happy with the EBC greens on all the cars i've driven with them.

My rule for AZ is, anything I have to ask for I dont need. There are very few exceptions to that rule. AZ is great for oils, anti-freeze, Perma-tex and wiper blades. Everything else, for the most part, your getting what you pay for.

after using the AZ crap and EBC pads I went back to using Toyo oem pads. The OEM pads are dusty in the beginning but after 500 miles it stopped and it has little dust and I couldn't be more happier with these pads compare to the other two brands. Should have bought it in the first place.

I have some ceramic pads from Advance Auto on my IS300 and they are very low dust. Work quite well too.

like bluepearl said, my porterfield r4s pads are dusty as hell but i dont mind since its just dirtying up the sawblades i've been extremely happy with performance

I agree on all counts. The Porterfields are exceptional pads but damn are they dirty.
