Looking for the best solution on Brake pads for a 2020 Macan GTS .The brake dust is ridiculous! Anyone have a solution on which pads to use? Thanks

 

I thought the 2020 GTS had PSCB brakes. Mine show practically zero dust.

 

Hawk Performance Ceramic have worked well for me on other Porsches to reduce brake dust to near zero. Have not used on Macan b/c we optioned our 2022 with PSCB but if I hadn't it would be getting a set of these pads.

 

Akebono and Hawk make extremely low dust pads for our Macans

 

No mine does not have PACB brakes that's why I asked . My GT3 Touring has PCBB brakes .

 

Hawk street pads. Worked wonders on my GT3. Good performance, long lasting, and almost zero dust.

Also, no squealing at all.

 

Hawk Ceramic in the yellow box with the Z in the part number (if they make them for your fitment).

 

Yes the Z are the Hawk Performance Ceramic pads. Great pads. You will have almost zero brake dust.

 

I’ve used both the Akebono Euro Ceramic and Hawk Ceramic’s before on Porsches and Audis and they are both excellent, not only for not dusting but for the pedal feel and linear progression. Here’s the issue though: I have not been able to find either available in a fitment for my 2015 Macan S. If anyone can find a source with proper fitment please post it here for us all!

 

If you are willing to spend the money you could buy a set of PSCB rotors and pads. I assume nothing else is needed to convert to a PSCB setup, but not sure if there is anything else needed, such as pad wear sensors, or if any programming would be necessary.

 

Try Powerstop. They were the only company offering a matched set for my 2018 GTS.

 

FWIW, I have been running EBC Red Stuff on every vehicle I could find them for. A Ford GT500, a 09 C63, a 13 C63 coupe, my wife's current 20 C63S coupe... i have 3 qualifiers: stops good cold, little to no brake dust and no noise. Red Stuff fit all 3. Unfortunately, on the '18 Turbo I can only get Yellow Stuff. I also upgraded to Goodridge teflon-coated SS brake lines. She stops good cold. Good bite. Little dust and no noise at all.

 

I have a 21 GTS and can’t find the Hawks for them but I looked at tire rack under 2022 Macan S which is basically the same as a 2021 GTS and checked the configurator on the 2022 S and the brake and tire specs seem to be exactly the same as my 2021 GTS (which I think is same as your 2020). Tire Rack has these Hawk Ceramics for the 22 S which I think will fit 20/21 GTS:

• FRONT
• Manufacturer Part #: HB720Z.575
• Note: Front brake pads. GTS/Turbo 360mm Front Disc GTS 396mm Front Ceramic Disc
• REAR
• Manufacturer Part #: HB823Z.652
• Note: Rear brake pads. For Base and S models with 330mm iron Rear discs.

If you get these please repot back. They also have Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Pad in above sizes.

 

Been using Powerstop carbon ceramic pads for yrs on a lot of vehicles with great results. No dust, not grabby, no noise and they last a long time.
Had to do some cross referencing for my 22 S. Fronts are same as on Panamera (Z23-1349). Rears are std single floating piston pads (Z23-1547).

 

We have had luck with both Hawk Ceramic and Carbotech's 1521 ultra low dust compound. I will have to check with Carbotech to see if they have the backing plate in stock, but shoot us a message if interested.

Our experience with low dust brake pads has taught us that when you switch to a low dust brake pad you loose some braking performance.
