hey guys, need to change the brakes on my vz, just wondering what a good brake pad to use is, looking for one that has the least amount of brake dust
the ones I've got now, after a 10min drive, wheels r filthy with brake dust

my dads ve sv6 barely has any dust and seems to stop his car good. does anyone know if the same pads will fit my car, and if so, anyone know what pads they use on ve sv6 from brand new and where I can get them?

BENDIX is the only pad to use

Maybe a harder compound, better the disc wear the pad than the pad wear than the disc.

Bendix is the best money can buy but hey, some people also use Black & Gold brand oil from Woolworths.

In your opinion.

I have been using RDA brand RDX high performance pads in everything I can for the past two years and that is all I supply to people as well. Fantastic pad, very little dust and minimal rotor wear.

$55 a set I do them for.

I've just installed some Bendix generals yesterday, dunno what the previous ones were, these are so much better. But abba doesn't BS, so I'd look into those rda's.

Get QFM's from GSL Rallysport in the sponsor section.

As much as I loove my QFM HPX police spec pads from GSL, I hate how they create so much dust but its my weekender so washing it after every outing doesn't bother me. For a much pleasurable daily driver you don't want to see any dust build up for at least a fortnite.

Also your old mans SV6 would have pads from factory which is low noise, low dust and low braking ability...lol

I got QFM HPX and they make hardly any dust at all plus they stop really well and don't cost a bundle either. Will stick with the QFM pads.
