Question Brake dust troubles...

I know this has been talked about before but couldn't find the thread... I'm needing to replace my brakes, the dust on my wheels is unbearable.. Any advise on brake pads and rotors to get rid of this annoying problem... I have a 98 Expedition XLT...

Its the pads, not the rotors. PepBoys had some "Low dust" pads in stock last week. They can also put them on for 50-60 bucks or so. I like to do all four at once and have the rotors tuned.

I'm going on my second set of Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramic pads. My NASCAR braking is costing me a set of rotors (again Raybestos). I went to "rockauto.com" and found the rotors for $70 each and the pads for $63. Be interesting to see the difference with the specific rotors recommended for the pads.

I just recently went with Morse Ceramics from Autozone for under $50.00, and I haven't had any brake dusting problems, the brakes are extremely quiet and it stops on a dime. Well worth the money.

Thanks for all the input guys... I ended up purchasing the Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramic pads from Kragen for about $80 after tax... Don't really care for Kragen but they were the close by... I also took the rotors down and had them turned... WORLD of difference... No squeaking and NO DUST...

Anyway, thanks again...
