    Low Dust Brake Pads?

    I've changed my wheels from the LR alloys to a more open spoke type. Problem is they are showing up the brake dust deposited on them much more by the EBC pads than the more closed type standard alloy wheels did.

    Which pads are recommended for low brake dust and non squeal when used with existing discs?

    I've heard good things about Bendix, TRW, not so good with Mintex, Ferodo.

    The EBC pads work well but create a lot of dust, especially at the front.

    I've got Bendix Ultra Premium (ceramic technology) on my Commodore with open style silver alloys & am pretty happy with the low dust output (they claim low dust which is why I got them). Don't know if they make em for Landies, but can't see why not!

    Which EBC pad do you have? The 4x4 6000 pads shouldn't produce much dust. The Bendix are good, the TRW's will squeel.

    Yes 6000 from Paddocks. They work ok, don't squeal but do seem to produce quite a bit of dust in stop start driving situations.
