I hope to have good feedback when I get back to the office Monday. My brakes aren't worn yet, but need to know something.

How come my brakes are so awesome that they leave no brakes dust on the rims?

Almost everyone of my last 10cars absolutely had filthy front rims from brake dust.

Is there a special brake pad to know to purchase?

 

yeah, mine are the same way on my SS... I don't get any brake dust either... nice!

 

I think GM did not cut corners with the brake pads. Good pads = less dust. I am thinking about cross drilled rotors. With the new wheels the stock ones dont look that great.

 

raybestos qs grade pads and raybestos premium rotors, i sell both those..and i had them on my truck and have them on my car and i get 0 brake dust

when i get to work monday i will get part #;s for you

 

Thanks, just what I needed to know

I run the duralast gold pads on the front of my monte,I have never had any dust from them.

 

pgd1159qs is the # on the ceramic pads from raybestos...i get no brake dust with mine...mine are the 699qs's(2000-2005 monte carlo)

no rotors for the front as of yet..but those pads should help really well if your rotors are good
