    Default Lots of brake dust

    Gday guys, having issue with brake pads

    After market wheels can literaly be black after a week of driving. Willl admit i drive it alil hard but not 24/7. and its not alot of long distance stop start driving. Longest would be from parra to penrith (30mins) 2 a week.

    Got them put in afew months ago, they are ferrodo zero's (didnt have a choice, rather green stuffs or bendix) problem never leaves

    Can anyone give me any insite into this? Could it just be a junk pad or ferrodo itself :P

    Bendix ultimate are notorious for dust as well. Lots of dust isn't a problem. Well except for keeps your wheels clean. I'm using EBC Green Stuff now. Still a bit dusty but not as bad as the Bendix.

    Its ferrodo pads, i had that exact pad in my vn and they do generate alot of dust, in saying that i found braking performance to be great compared to my other vn with standard pads..

    like not an abba fan said.. QFM if you want low dust/high performance pads.

    Yep, Ferodo and Bendix Ultimate are notorious for dust.

    QFM HPX is a very low dust pad with performance equivalent to Bendix Ultimate:

    Can't remember what pads i put in mine, but they make a rediculous amount of dust.. i thought this was just a part of warring them in makes my rims look shithouse.

    QFM HPX for the win... Bendix Ultimate performance, with virtually no dust.
