M350ZB Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Might seem bit of a daft question but just looking at my wheels this morning when leaving for work, i cant belive how much brake dust there is on the wheels, also noticing the discs allways go a rusty kind of colour when sitting there for a while, anyone know why ?, My MG ZR never gets to this rusty sort of colour, and are the nissan standard pads common for brake dust or just mine ? Right got me self some Ferodo DS2500 Pads from big phil (ESR), fitting them thursday !, what are these like for brake dust, surely gotta be alot better than the standard ones ? Does anyone else suffer from the same sort of probs or ? Quote

Does anyone else suffer from the same sort of probs or ? I have always had loads of dust from the OEM pads. Replaced them with Mintex Xtreme pads and noticed a considerable reduction. IIRC Ferodos do produce a lot of dust but I'm happy to be corrected. Quote
M350ZB Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 when you say 'alot', surely less than the standard ones ? Quote
Digsy Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 when you say 'alot', surely less than the standard ones ? Why surely? They are high performance pads after all, made for driving not posing. Quote
Toon Chris Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 They are about the same IMHO. Possibly a tad more. Quote

Zedrush Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Dude you will find out once you get the pads on your car if they have alot of brake dust or not, as long as it stops the car who cares lol... never know someone to be so indicisive you are worse than me Quote
Zedrush Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 No one is as bad as you come on ! we were seperated at birth Quote
H5 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 From what I have seen and heard, the Performance Friction ones are even better on dust. As for the colouring, that is just where water is splashing on the disks when it is raining and the car isn't being used. You probably never saw it on the MG as the brakes discs weren't big enough to see it!! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 its just rust, oxidation, happens to all cars as for the dust - wash em more often Quote
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 DS2500 are relatively dusty as well - good pad, but not clean Quote
sinbad Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 DS2500 are relatively dusty as well - good pad, but not clean +1 thats what ive found. quite dusty but v.good performance. Quote
M350ZB Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 i have been more than impressed with the padz, and i dont really create to much dust, but hey a quick wipe and all good ! So much better than standard padz for sure ! Quote
