Sport Trim Brake Pads

[sarge]

I’ve done quite a bit of searching and haven’t found anything on sport trim brake pads.

My Z is a daily driver, the amount of brake dust is crazy. Anyone know of a good dustless brake pad?

Thanks

Low dust = lower performance. Carbotech makes high end race pads. The 1521 is their street pad.

Thank you. I like to drive in the mountains but don’t do it every weekend and don’t push it then. I appreciate it.

The standard answer for low-dust pads: Dixcel M Type, perfect for daily driving.

For track days, you may use their Z Type. But it's recommended to replace harder rotors as well, as the Z-type pads will eat OEM rotors very fast.

Thanks. I’ll check them out. Brake pads get pretty pricy!
