Brake pads that dust less than axxis ults?
Well i have had the axxis ult pads on my FD for about 6 months now and tired of the dust(wheels are covered after a 30min drive). I love the feel and grip but my polished Fiske Fm10's took a beating and im spending alot of tim polishing them and hate to have to tear them apart again. Want a pad similar performance but less dust, and looking at the EBC green stuff, not hawks(i know they dust). I do alot of drag racing and agressive street driving so just making sure the green stuff will be a good choice.

Bonez Stage I

It's been rumored the Bonez pads are rebadged Axxis Metal Masters. Metal Master definitely dust a lot less than the Ultimates, but they aren't as aggressive of a brake pad either. Most aggressive brake pads are going to dust. That's just the price you pay to drive the car aggressively. Another option would be EBC Greens.

Yea i saw those. I love the Axxis its just the dust
if i didnt have polished wheels i wouldnt sweat it but i was washing and touching up the wheels with polish like every 2 days(not that im crazy about cleaning my wheels but they would be gun metal looking). I really dont ride my brakes at all either(rotors arent even warped). Yea alot of the post i was searching wer like 3 and 4 years old about the EBC's and wanted to see how they are still holding.

I dont see any dust with my EBC yellows, and I previously had Ultimates.
I run the yellows on the street (the 7 really only sees aggressive driving) and the only downside is the lack of "bite." That's not to say they don't stop the car with authority when you step on the pedal, it's just that they don't have that sharp grab like the Ults do when they get hot.
However, the EBC brakes the same all the way up to track temps, whereas I faded the Ultimates on a 9-mile downhill run.
