Default Looking for brake pads that don't dust.

Time to replace the brake pads on my truck. Anyone have any recommendations on brake pads that don't dust? Thanks.

The same ones that don't work. In my experience, all brake pads dust, some worse than others. Best ones I've found for low dust, EBC Greens. Best ones for function, and low dust, Carquest Gold. They just plain work.

Ceramic pads are supposed to create minimal dust.

Ceramic pads do have less dust but have less braking power when the temps get too hot.

I just went back with some Delco pads... much less dust than my old Hawk POS pads. and not much less stopping power at all... I'd do them again...
