Brake pads that are not too dusty ?

[Ron Burgundy]

I installed a set of Remsa brake pads on my VF couple months ago.

They bite well, especially hot and make no noise...BUT.... They are super dusty !!!

The wheels look like **** after couple days...

Previous setup was stock front (HP/1000) and Bendix Ultimate at the back. They were great but also super dusty...
Remsa is probably as dusty as Bendix Ultimate...

Is there anything out there with comparable performace but less dust ?
What pads do you run and what are your thoughts ?

Sorry Ron, can't help you. Still on my original pads after 5 years and 69,000 km... (and yes, there's still plenty of pad material left!).

I use bendix general ct on my SV6 and I don’t end up with very much brake dust on them but then again I don’t go heavy on the brakes either (about 80% highway and 20% city driving).

What car/brake setup mate ?

Mine were gone in 40 000 km

I have seen people report that the QFM HPX pads work well with low dust.

IIRC, @426Cuda may have them. Hopefully he will chime in.

Ceramic pads are the way to go Every bit as good as Remsa and no dust. Wear rate is exceptional, they may be dearer but are well worth the extra money.

Remsa are good pads. They lasted years on my standard VE brakes. I just got used to washing the wheels every 2 weeks and didn't mind too much because I liked the performance. Car wash and a soft brush cleans it off in about 30 seconds a corner.

2014 Calais V 3.6 litre V6. OEM pads, no idea what they are - I'm old enough now that I can leave that sort of thing to my mechanic. The car's always been driven in a reasonable fashion -- mostly city work, occasional interstate trips at the legal limit but never raced or rallied -- even on Sundays. Can't speak for how the wife drives it though when I'm not with her -- I'll have to check the dashcam!
