Brake Pad change f/r approaching

It's getting to that time and when we get some decent weather will be swapping out the extremely dusty worn pads on there now with a recently purchased low dust matched set.

What pads are you switching to? I have the Carbo Tech’s and brake dust is minimum without compromising performance.

^ They are TRW which I've been storing for a bit, probably not as dust free as your carbotechs but anything is better than the standard ones which give me dirty wheels after a couple of trips..will reuse the wear wires if I can remove them intact.

Anything is better than OEM. That brake dust is outright disrespectful

You are only replacing them due to excessive dust?

My factory ones are very dusty but the suckers are lasting extremely long. Part of me wants to swap them to low dust but they’re still quite thick.

75% worn and I've had enough of them
Can't wait to replace them.
