Brake pads

It only takes a few miles for wheels to dust up!,
So I was considering EBC Reds front and back
Any other recommendations in regards to ceramic
Brake pads?, or other Manufacturers?

Powerstop Z26 are great ultra-low-dust street pads. You give up a bit of initial bite for zero dust, but DO NOT use them on the track.

Z26 ended up degrading over time, they'd start stinking with less and less heat applied. They can't even take autoX use, which means they also can't take aggressive street use or mountain driving. Only cruising around town. Mine were trash after a short time and hardly worn, waste of money.

Brake dust gray wheels, Ferodo HP1000/1 pads and a good, therapeutic wheel cleaning regime

Agreed! Had the cross drilled and slotted rotors with those pads and it sucked. Went with the Power Stop Track Days rotors and pads. I can deal with the dust but not with the shatty stopping power:(

I vote the Z26 but most no one chooses those for performance it's about the next to no dusting from them. I've had two sets (1LE and now ZL1) and you'll sure notice the difference if you stand on them hard compared to the OE Brembo pads but they're more than a great street pad, I've got no complaints about them.
I'd like to consider some of the EBC offerings but I'm put off by their colored pads though they're barely visible installed I just don't like that.
