Anyone Tried StopTech Sport Pads?

bdogk · 04-23-2019, 05:58 PM

I'm tired of the excessive brake dust from my OE M2C brakes.

Has anyone tried the Stoptech Sport Pads I found on TireRack, or can recommend other pads?

Aside from the reduced dust, I'm looking for good bite for everyday driving as well as for autocross and light track uses.

I'm also looking for a reduced brake dust brake pads that perform as good or better than stock lmk if you guys have any luck no one seems to know really so far.

Have gone through three sets of those Stoptech pads on a Z4M, very pleased overall but cannot confirm that brake dust is substantially reduced.

Most (all?) lower dust pads will have lower initial bite. If you're ok with that, then you can look at Porterfield R4-S maybe.

I ran the Stoptech sports on my old 997.1 Turbo and they are by no means a low dust pad, not likely what you are looking for.

If you don’t mind lower friction level almost any ceramic pad which fits the caliper will be fine.

Thanks all for your comments. Looks like I'm back to the drawing board on this for now ...
