The amount of brake dust is really dependent on your pad selection. As stated; better stopping power comes with more dust and noise. You can get pads that produce very little dust, but you will give up some braking power, at least in repeated stops.

Best regards,

Maybe at lower speeds...but there's just no comparing one to the other during spirited, hard driving. I drove both before buying...Brembos are so much better. I don't agree you can only tell the difference on a track.

I just upgraded my entire brakes system to the SS Brembo's and I can tell a big difference.


I also track my car and I'm looking forward to the next event to try these puppy's out.
