My main concern is low dust! and quiet pads..

I got the Centric posi-quiet semi-metallic up front and ceramic in the rear.. it is what came with my setup I bought from Coz.

From my understanding .. these were low dust pads.. I just installed them and have less than 50 miles on them with my new akebono 4 wheel, stoptech drilled/slotted rotors. Its either the pads/rotors breaking (after proper bedding procedure etc) or its juust how the pads are in terms of dust.. there is quite a bit more than whatever pads I had on my stock brake setup (not sure what the previous owner put on there)

I am not very impressed with the bite and grab from these pads either.. but I believe I still have a little air in my lines.. so it could be that..

What do you guys recommend? I want very low dust pad that is quiet!

I searched on other forums and it looks that Akebono ACT pads are very dust free.

Thanks!

All these g37 sports on here and nobody has a recommendation?

 

I think the Hawk ceramics are supposed to be pretty good for low dust/decent bite. I really like my Stoptech Street Pads for bite, especially when they warm up a bit, but alas, they're dust generators

 

I agree with Blnewt,

I have Stoptech pads as well though not to much dust at all.... I seated them and followed the instructions and Very happy with them along with my Rotors from Stoptech.... I've never used HAWK so no info on those though too I have Full Ceramic....Why the Semi Metallic?

Good Luck!

 

To be honest I haven't noticed excessive dust, just a bit more than my OEM pads and I also used the aggressive bed-in process off the Stoptech website~
(10) full 60-5 mph hard braking, followed by a drive-only cool down then another round of (10) 60-5 hard braking runs. My rotors were so hot after the bed in that my black zinc coating vaporized

 

Well to follow up..

I think I jumped the gun a bit :/

I re-bled the brakes.. and I guess from driving it around about 60 miles or so.. the dust is much less and the braking/bite is much much better!

These brakes are super smooth too!

I just gotta figure out what i'm doing about this caliper and how it doesn't clear my wheel without a 4mm spacer.. I refuse to run any spacer long term.. the wheel is so close to hitting fender when I turn!

Anyway.. Very happy with the performance of these brakes and stoptech rotors, centric pads so far!

Thanks for the responses guys!
