Brake dust is starting to get to me
I have a 2004 STX and the brake dust on the front disc brakes is absolutly horrid! The back discs are fine...but I need to know what pads I can get to stop this problem. I can clean my wheels and 2 days later dust is back on them making my wheels look black. I especially want to change them before I put aftermarket rims on my truck.....any suggestions?

Ok guys a while back I asked about the PorterField R4S brakes---I am REALLY tired of the brake dust---the Porterfield brake pads are about99$ for the front----Heck I don't mind spending that but are there any other brake pads that will cut down that dust---I live in texas and would have to order the Porterfields---I've heard about some Kevlar ceramic pads but nothing else---HELP

brake dust is terrible on mine, b.c after i lowered the vents on the back of the rotors dont get all the air they need to to properly disperse the dust into the air, and not onto the rim. I put on some cheapy AuotZone pads were like 30 buck for both.. Stop well but dust is horrible, just an average semi metallic i think.

in my brief research before buying - I figured the EBC Green pad is a good one. fronts were $70 - autopartswarehouse.com - just make sure they are in stock before you place the order call it in - and have the dude verify he can ship them out. I had to wait a few weeks which was a pain.
I wound up getting a set of their rotors too.
