I need to change my stock brake pad, has many dust and noisy....can anyone expert help to recommend any good brake pad (ceramic?) with less / minimum brake dust?? THANKS!!

try ceramic brake pad
it doesn't have dust at all
i'm using one sold in automotive garage...brand is called ceramic NAO
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1300445

There are plenty of good braking system. I am afraid you cant afford it only
You got to have it in a pair, Brake pad+ Disc brake.

thanks for the recommendation!!

ebc green stuff also provide minimum dust

skim disc or replace rotors, then get EBC greenstuff

period, the end.

Ceramic Nao is ok but I prefer to use Bendix King Ultimate. The brake dust is acceptable for both and so it's prices.

thanks!

Bendix Metal King Titanium is my choice! Good braking performance.

how about dust level? Less dust?

bendix is no where near EBC level if you're willing to pay. hell, if you can pay about rm700-1.3k for brake pads (EBC redstuff, which are kevlar/ceramic based) then you have among the best brake pads that has almost no dust at all. and despite being ceramics, it does not need warm up/ideal working temperatures

thanks for the info!

currently i am using advics brake pad.quite good and less dust.
if im not mistaken, advics is previously known as sumitomo.

i used ceramic 500 pumatec, less to none dust.. grip and price is good as well.. EBC green is damn expensive..

Thanks, how is the noise level, will it be noisy yeekkk yeekkk sound when brake to stop?

but its damn f***ing good. i'm using it on my iswara

Erm, dust level normal? As opposed to http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1343532&hl= I tried Pumatec 500C ceramic brake pads. They're horrible. Lotsa dust as opposed to the Bendix MKT.

strange ler, mytaffeta said no dust but you said lot of dust....

When I had the Pumatec 500C i did a lot of hardbraking... So maybe depends on the driver's driving style.

no weird sound so far.. for me yes, not seeing any dust.. calvin racing driver maa, with HKS sure vroom2 one.. anyway bro calvin, where did u installed ur pumatec? after12?

wow...all member recommending TS super expensive brake pad when he just want dust less...haha

VVTR 500 Degrees

it's just like suspensions, or almost everything car:
- brake performance
- less dust/noise
- pricing

pick either 2 out of the 3.

the ceramic nao is probably cheapest here
brake performance of course not on par with those performance brake pad but IMO better than OEM ones...very grip
and dust definitely significantly reduced, TBH i see none
my intention when i was changing brake pad is the same as TS as well...want dustless

then you sacrifice biting performance. do realize that ceramic based brake pads *TYPICALLY* require warming up before they can fully perform. if you think it bites from the get-go, maybe you never needed the performance in the first place

i just drive normal car only, performance no need to be that good
but i found out it is better than the OEM one...so cannot say sacrifice..plus, its quite cheap in price so can't expect much
i've been using it for 2 years already, got no problem with mine though...when i travel, usually travel quite far...so not sure got warm up or not

then it also depends on what OEM, because most foreign makes (nissan sentra, honda civic as examples since i am more familiar with them) already have pretty good stock brake pads. minor to no dust, while having pretty damn good bite. in fact for the civic, there are people who complains that it bites too hard and throws the occupants if the braking is slightly harder than intended.

if you're ok with it, that's that.
do also bear in mind TS never mentioned a specific budget, or what kinda braking needs he require.

EBC GreenStuff.
love this to bits!

well, i changed mine becuz of the dust of course
wash the car not even 1 week, the rim is full of dust already..very annoying
changed to this, quite satisfied...no dust..clean rim

hehe another kaki

i changed mine to EBC because i HATE brake dusts (im active in the pinned detailing thread, go figure lol) while i still want to drive like a complete retard, so i pick performance + less dust/noise, i sacrificed pricing

haha....ic
my car not much performance, so dn't need it
even the route i travelled not much traffic light...rarely stop also...so never bought performance brake pad
plus those performance brake pad really out of budget

my car is a 3 speed auto 14 year old iswara that only has about 60 WHP after dyno. so i can assure you that my car has shit for performance too.

i just like to drive faster than i should be

id rather sacrifice on dust....what i must have is good brake bite....dust can be washed..brake bite...diff story

but of course i wash my car once a week

How about Project Mu?
Sorry to TS for piggy backing the thread but I'm also interested to replace mine with a good one.

i wash my car weekly too, but the dust is just so bad, i have to spend around/over an hour scrubbing the wheels. (and yes im using pretty strong solutions and any stronger may damage the rims surface)

want both? like i said: pay.

haha no problem...

heard a lot of good words (on par with EBC) regarding that, however cant say much as i never tried it myself.

my pick will be less dust/noise + pricing 200-300 i am ok.... brake perfomance normal is ok already i just normal street drive no racing ...

greenstuff for iswara is around rm320.

your car i dunno. feel free to look up ebc distro and ask them directly
http://www.pentagon.com.my/index.php?optio...ontact&Itemid=3

thanks a lot!

Pentagon still owe me my deposit after they failed to order the pads. waited 4 months for it and give up.


Ordered through ebay uk and it came after 5 days

eh how much was shipping? if not too heavy id like to order new stocks from them once mine wears off. (they keeping damn old stock, doesnt come with the noise reduction shims [not to say i could barely hear anything despite having slotted + x drilled rotors grinding/shaving the pads rofl])

shipping was about 20 pound. I got mine from demontweaks off ebay.

Overall - the total cost was still cheaper by 90 ringgit vs pentagons pricing

i duno u guys.

but im using



braking performance excellent, "instant stop" aka jam brake if you press harder.

but the point is lot of dust, within 1 week your chrome rim become matt black rim already.

average life spam bout 1year.

thanks for the info bro

Thanks a lot for this info!
So did the brake pads get taxed? I heard that automotive items are taxable.

No it did not. If below 500 ringgit and look small, usually lepas ( atleast most of the stuff i ordered). I've ordered 3 sets ( 2 front, 1 rear) off Demontweaks on seperate occations and all 3 lepas.


Make sure you ask the seller to exclude VAT as you are buying it from malaysia. Some people buta buta pay the VAT.

eh much thanks for the info bro, and yes i can attest for the 500ringgit/small bit when dealing with customs since i import items on a very regular basis too hehe.

Eh TS, u go for which brake pad?

Bandix General is ok mah.. with Ceramic also... less dust.. cheap.. n good

i stil waiting the seller to check the price and stock for my car....EBC Greenstuff...

Bendix General CT is Ceramic??

Blend wt ceramic... Lasting, less dust... Google and see...

ya got it, thnks for the info!
