Would like to. But I aggree with the soft pad option. Mine are dusty as but with the dark wheels its not as bad. Id rather wear the pads out before the rotors.

Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 21/05/10 02:06 AM Share Posted 21/05/10 02:06 AM Hey Smicky, ceramics work no where near as well as the FF compounds. Tell me what you think of them in a couple of months.

xr6tc Donating Members 142 Member For: 16y 3m 18d Gender: Male Location: Cairns, who knows how long for! Posted 21/05/10 07:21 AM Author Share Posted 21/05/10 07:21 AM Thanks for all the replies guys, I spoke to the guys at Race Brakes in Sydney and he said that the way it generally works is the better the pad then you put up with plenty of dust... I would like to try a cerarmic pad, to see the dust levels, but running the DBA 4000XS rotots, I don't really want to warp them and have to pay for another set...

I think its something else down there causing the noise...So far no dust... 1 week in and have been giving them quick a bit! more dust on the rears!Powerslide:Mate,Pads were off the shelf...No need for custom cuts on the Brembos... The 4 pots are the same used in Alfa, Subarus, Audi and a few others, so easy to find... I think they are Brembo 500 series or something like that... (cant remember its written down in the office)...About 250-300$ if anyone wants a set, happy to hook you up bud... made a few mates (business contacts) during this last change over... some cheap specials.. heheheh Edited 21/05/10 12:06 PM by smicky Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68274-low-dust-brake-pads/page/2/#findComment-1009604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be ok so far with no dust, noise, shudder and good braking in the city/freeway.

So much so that I just had my rears done this morning with the same setup. Here's my post in the brake shudder thread about it.I've still got to run the rears in - but so far so good Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68274-low-dust-brake-pads/page/2/#findComment-1010718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
