Low brake dust pads

[GazHyde]

What's peeps recommendations for low brake dust pads? I'm running on OEM pads and they are pretty good at creating dust. I've had Pagid and Mintex and not been particularly good dust wise.

The discs are in good condition so don't need to change them from the OEM's for now. Would like a bit of extra bite as well, so tempted by some Yellow Stuff pads - I'm a heavy braker

Be interested in this as mine just seem to deposit themselves everywhere on any journey....

EBC on their website state that Yellow Stuff create as much dust as OEM pads.

Yellowstuff is not rated as low dust and creates similar dust to OEM pads, if low dust is what you seek, Redstuff should be your choice for fast street use.

Not sure that I'm fast enough for fast street use though...

I am using Red Stuff and they definitely create less dust.

My oem pads are ridiculously dusty

I used back diamond pads in the past and they were quite good

I used ebc standard pads and l think l read in their gumph that they are 'low dust' but l can't say lve noticed any difference.. l still seem to spend my whole life cleaning my wheels!!! However, my brother works in an independent car spares shop and he said that they stock pads that are supposed to be virtually dust free but they cost about £60 a set and l must say lm tempted..

New ish Pagid pads all round on mine, very little brake dust if I'm honest.

Using Redstuff pads on grooved disks very little dust and I gave her a spanking on the weekend, still very little dust, and now its all bedded in stops great.

I've been using yellow stuff EBC for years and even when it was a daily I didn't think the dust was bad but can't compare as never ran anything else.
I've enjoyed their feel for road use, work from cold just fine and never though fade was an issue.

Any idea who makes then for ECP?
I'd be a bit wary of an unknown brand of pads.
They are probably a big brand put in another box but I'd say it's worth a check anyway, don't want to put a downer on your purchase but we like you and want make sure your brakes work!

TMDFriction I believe make pads for ECP, they also make Pagid and Mintex amongst others IIRC

ATM I'm using mintex 1144's designed for fast road rather than track, great stopping, when warm, and not too much dust. These are better than the standard mintex pads btw.

@Toby is right TMD friction produce ecp standard and pagid mintex and a few others but the pad friction materials are different grades depending on what brand your buying

Lol! Thanks Dino. I like you too! Haven't a clue who makes them but I'm sure they will be of a safe standard to a point. I just grabbed them last weekend with a load of other stuff while they had the big discount weekend offer on.
