i can't speak to those specific parts but personally i hate powerstop. i tried them on my f150 and my suv and they put off so much brake dust i was worried they would be gone in a week.

Thank you Sir.

I do have there Z16 ceramic pads on my Cayenne Diesel, so far I’ve been happy with how little dust the ceramics produce.
But you have made a good point about longevity, that’s something I need to inspect.
will look at pad thickness when I change over to winter wheels and tires.
Thx again.

Lots of posters really hate on the Hawk pads and yet there are two guys running them and say they’re fine, with no dust.


So what low dust, well performing pads, so the pros recommend for GT steel brakes? Coming from a GTS to the Spyder, I notice the uptick in brake dust and I don’t like it. That said, I’d rather live with that than put a pad on that doesn’t perform as well (or at least close) to the OEM pads.

Open to ideas.
