Tons of black dust? Raybestos

Here's a nice little break down on brake pad materials and their pro's and con's, pretty decent article actually-

Ceramic vs. Metallic Brake Pads | Bridgestone Tires

Or the reader's digest version-

Asbestos- Kills you.
Organic- Cheap, low performance, quiet, great for leisurely cruises
Ceramic- Expensive, moderate performance, super quiet, hard on your brake fluid and piston seals
Semi-Metallic- Affordable, high performance, noisy, dusty, harder on rotors than organic or ceramic

The faster your brakes can bring you to a stop, the faster your brake components wear out. Personally, I'd rather change rotors and pads than bodywork. If you're worried about wearing out your rotors, stop driving the car.

If you truly believe this then your car should be using EBC Reds or Yellows. There is nothing out there that stops your car better than they do. Period. There are no Semi-Metallic race pads that can even compete with the EBC Reds! Sounds like you need Yellows.

If you aren't running them, you're just all talk and not practicing what you preach. Since you don't mind spending money on replacing brake components, you should ditch whatever is on your car now if you aren't using EBC pads. If you are having trouble judging the stopping distances and brake fade while driving your car, EBC pads will shorten your stopping distances dramatically, fade is almost non existent. And they work great at a higher heat index so you can run them on the track, yet they work excellent at commuter driving too without having to get hot.

They are better than Hawk, better than those no-dust Powerstop pads, better than anything on the market for stopping power.

And if I'm correct, you don't mind dust? Then they are the only pads you need to be using. What's on your Duster now?
