im wanting to know what brakes put out the least amount of brake dust. i got 22in boss 330s or 333s i cant remeber which ones which but they are black with a deep polished aluminum lip. they wont stay clean more than 1 day with factory ford brakes with how much brake dust theyre pushin out. plus i no factory brakes have a hard time stoppin 22s anyways! help me please!

 

Wagner Thermoquiet semi-metallic pads, $88 shipped for a set of front and rear pads from rockauto.com

 

Yes, just use the search feature and enter Wagner ThermoQuiet. Should get plenty to read.

 

X3 on the TQ pads.

 

Any ceramic pad will be a huge improvement over the OEM pads.

 

^^^from what i read ceramics will kill the rotors/crack, that's why i went with the semi-metallics....

 

I guarantee the EBC 7000's beat the Wagners in the brake dust department. I've never seen anything to beat them.

 

I have 91,000 with the TQ semi-metallics and I have never seen brake dust. Not sure how you can beat zero. Equal maybe, but not beat them.

 

I guess we can chalk it up to the rim/tire size on my truck but the wagner TQ's are failing miserably on my truck. I had less brake dust with carquest blue semi-metallics, and better stopping power. With the TQ's the dust is thick after one day and the stopping is mushy now, even after the power slot rotors, bleeding the lines, and completely flushing the system... I think I'm about to go ceramic..

 

bought me some thermoquiet semi-metallic pads from rockauto.com... $81.15 shipped even better!

 

I use Hawk LTS pads with powerslot slotted rotors...love them

 

Im sure driving style and other factors matter, but my dad has them and it is not zero. Are they extremely, very, very good in this department?? Yes, absolutely. Are they better than my 7000's? Nope. And there's no such thing as zero when it comes to brake dust on a disc brake.

 

My TQ pads are deff. an improvement over stock, but they do create dust. Nothing too bad, but it is there.

 

I understand there is no such thing as zero, but when you can go 2 weeks between washes and all you have is normal road dust, that is pretty much "mental" zero.

 

Ceramics will certainly eliminate a lot of the dust, but it depends on how much performance you are willing to give up with them as well. They will dust less, but will not stop as well as a better performance pad will. I don't believe today's ceramic compounds are as hard on rotors and they used to be.
