Can anyone suggest the best set of brake pads to reduce the brake dust from accumulating on the wheels. This is the biggest problem I have with my new Mini. I have heard that the Green Stuff pads are good but are they any better?

 

I'm not sure which brake pads would be the best but somone on NAM recently said that DuPont has a teflon product that cleans and covers wheels, that doesn't allow ALL the dust to stick to your wheels. I can't find anyone that sells it though

 

u can always do a search

Green Stuff are good at reducing brake dust. Ferrodo are also good. Hawk are good as well. There are a ton of opinions on this subjet.

 

I switched to Hawk HPS pads in the front and the rear and it seems to me like I have less dust.

 

I switched to the Mintex Reds (from Helix) and they are definitely much better than the factory pads but they are not dustless. I also like the pedal feel over the stock units.

I have Ferrodo's, and it is much less dust than stock.

 

EBC Green Stuff; The green looks fast , relatively cheap, no noise, about 1/10 the brake dust, and feel the same as the stock pads. I replaced my stock ones wit Green Stuff at about 40,000 miles and really love how my rims stay clean now. They take a while to break in, so don't be worried about any initial weak feel or a few small squeeks.
