Hi guys

Im looking for new pads for the front of my 03 WRX and rears to follow in the next few months.
I dont use the brakes that hard but want to upgrade from standard pads.

I want good pads that dont give off that much brake dust.
Are EBC Red stuff the best for giving off low dust ?

Cheers for the help and yet again another basic brake question

Axxis ULT Ceramics.
I had lots of pads on my GT, including ds2500, Hawk HPS,HP+, Red stuff and Axxis ULT. and not only pound for pound, the Axxis' beat them all, but they are the best outright.

Over here DS2500 are about 180 Euro's a front set, Axxis ULT are 90.
Only thing is that they squeak a bit when cold, and they produce above average amounts of dust, but the dust itself isn't as aggresive as DS2500,and doesn't cake on.

I've used DS2500, EBC redstuff and EBC redstuff Ceramic back to back now, and the result for me using the same calipers and discs is this,

DS2500, excellent pad with good compressability (hard pedal) but suffers from Pad deposits in normal use, give them a hard time and it clears.

EBC Redstuff, good pad for cleaning the disc surface, low compressability (softer pedal)

EBC Redstuff Ceramic, good pad good compresability (not as hard as DS2500) with good feedback and can be used in everyday driving.

The Calipers are refurbed with new seals and use DOT5.1 Fluid.
