replacement brake pads

Just wanted to see what the general consensus is on replacement brake pads for the 1LE?


The factory pads dust up terribly, on my white car the black dust is visible after 50 miles of driving.


I don't track the car, just some normal spirited street driving.



What brake pads has anyone gone with that provides decent stopping power but is not a dust generator?


Thanks in advance!

I went with Power Stop Z26 and I am very happy with them.

I replaced mine with stock pads. No better all around pad than that.

Mine only have 4000 miles on them, they are like new. Its the huge amount of brake dust that they lay all over the wheels and lower body panels.



Just looking for a low dust pad.

Powerstops as stated above. You'll wonder how you ever put up with the stock pads as long as you did.

Thanks! I will get (2) sets of those and give them a shot.

I put a set of Hawks brake pads on mine, and they have performed nicely for me. They also do not throw as much brake dust out as the stock pads did.
