low dust brake pads

[shaggy]

any idea where i can get the egr(?) green type brake pads for my 3ltr kzn 130
it took 2 hours to clean my new alloys today and they are supposed to dramaticaly cut down on the dust

I'm not sure if these do the ones you are after, but what these guys dont know about brakes isnt worth knowing.

One point to note, however, is that the heavy duty pads are designed for different braking requirements. They may not be the best of choices for the Surf.

orignial toyota pads dont really create much dust. i like milners pads but they wear quick!

After you've washed the wheels, give them a good waxing with car polish. Autoglym is good for preventing the brake dust from sticking, it just hoses off.

EBC (?) Greens wont be any good for a surf. They are meant for small light weight cars. Lotus elise size ish. I had some on my skyline & they killed the discs as they got too hot.

If you can get them for a surf then EBC red ceramics would be better Virtually no brake dust & more suited to the weight of the car.

This is what green pads did to a pair of GTR discs within a couple of months & at £450 each + vat to replace they are not cheap. Luckily i managed to get hold of a 2nd hand pair from a mate in the club

Pretty much what i said then



Designed for premium street driving offering better brake effect at loads and speed. EBC Greenstuff has a high initial brake effect and gives drivers confidence from first application of the brake pedal. There is no such thing as a NO DUST pad. The very nature of how a brake works requires that some dust be generated to avoid rotor vibration (shimmying). The EBC pad creates less dust and dust is more easily washed off than most. All pads create more dust as they are bedding in especially if rotors are worn. Nominal friction coefficient 0.55. For heavier faster cars and vehicles above 200bhp we strongly recommend Redstuff which DOES offer much less dust.

If you look on the wallchart at the stockists, it tells you what the different colours are for. They vary from standard use types, to racing rated types. Pick the best one for the speed/weight ratio. The racing types are bugger all use as they require a good amount of heat in them to work effectively, and the ones that Nismo was referring to are the bog standard road car types, (I believe, but may be wrong).

They are readily available from UK online sellers but I found these to be the cheapest:

Don't know what's on mine, but I get no visible dust, although I also get n visible reduction in speed when applied either!!

Agreed.
