I need some help from my fellow 911 Brothers. We just purschaed our 01 996. We love the car, except for the amount of brake dust the OEM pads produce.

Our 83 928 has OEM pads and they do not produce any dust compaired to the Pads on the 911.

I am looking for feed back on the best Street pads. Looking for low Dust Pads. Looking at Mintex Brake Pads

Thank you

Jeff

Akebono produce a low dust pad, and the dust is light gray, so what dust you do get is less noticeable. I ran them on my 99, but they didn't last very long when I used them at the track.

I now run Carbotech Bobcats for street, and swap with their XP10s for track. The bobcats are low dust and very long life.

i went looking for the same result: low dust pads that provide nearly as good bite and stoppage power as the oem pads.

in the porsche world, brake dust is a part of life. i have the mintex now and though they do reduce brake dustage of your wheels, your wheels still end up getting blacked out quicker than any other part of your car.

i'm not sure i'd spend the xtra $ to do this.. just learn to live with it because again the whole point to get less dusty pads is to increase car wash intervals... not gonna happen. just a cali dust brush or something to stave off the need to wash the ride.
