hi need to get some new brake pads but fed up having to clean my wheels so often, anybody recommend a decent pad that produces low dust?

 

Is there any for the Impreza????
I have found most dust a lot!!!!

 

bluestuff ndx are pretty good

 

EBC Redstuff if you're running under 300bhp

 

All depends how you drive guys.
I personally don't think Green or Redstuff have any place on a turbo'd Impreza.
Yellow Stuff were better, Blue stuff NDX much better, BUT I find Yellow and Blue Stuff pads to be incredibly dusty - comparable to Ferodo DS2500's in so far as they get your wheels dirty quick.

The Kevlar pads I previously ran from Aztec Performance were better dust-wise, but less capable than the blue stuff pads.
All depends whether you want to compromise your braking for cleaner wheels

I'm on Blue Stuff NDX with K-Sports, marked improvement over yellow stuff on standard WRX calipers!

 

I've used Redstuff on a standard-ish Classic STi road car and found them ok. There are obviously better pads available in terms of performance, but nothing compares in terms of low-dust production.

 

One thing I suppose I didn't think of is that they might be acceptable for classics given that they're lighter cars than the fatter newage models.
However, I'd still say use at least yellow stuff for the WRX / STI models, just because you might need to do a hard stop from high speed and with red stuff I suspect you'd have more of a job.

In fairness to you though mate, you've answered the OP's question

 

The lowest dust pads I've used are Pagid Blues from Alyn at www.asperformance.com

As said if you want to stop then your going to get dust. I've tried nearly all of the compounds over the years and finding the new Bluestuff pads very good for stopping and not too much dust.

If it bothers you, buy dark coloured wheels

 

Cheers guys, guess you cant have both clean and stopping power, think ill go for the stopping power in that case. Atleast the time i save late braking to get home i can use to clean my wheels lol

I get very little dust using Performance Friction discs and pads

 

Indeed, swapped from silver to anthracite wheels - better than any pad change for not showing dust!
