Used the 5.0's on my cars in Hong Kong before I came home and they were pretty good from memory.

I used Akebono pads when my Audi needed fronts, the difference in dust was dramatic!

I have used DS2500 with Squeal pads between piston and pads, never had a problem with noise (only slight dust).

I have used these ceramic pads before on Mercs and they saved a lot of wheel cleaning.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have used these ceramic pads before on Mercs and they saved a lot of wheel cleaning.  I recall they were made by ATE and also by Hawk. What is the current verdict on these types of pads with 996-7 cars?

POST 2Original post

I have no answers for you Merv but glad to hear I'm not the only one that thinks the 996 brake dust is a pain, watching with interest.

POST 3Original post

I used Akebono pads when my Audi needed fronts, the difference in dust was dramatic!  They do still generate some dust, but less of it and it was a sort of sandy beige colour which doesn't stand out on silver wheels.  Used in conjunction with Autoglym clean wheels, they basically didn't need cleaning.  Performance seemed no different to original in the normal daily driving I did, the occasional spirited drive but no track days or the like so not sure how they behave if you really get them hot.  I'll happily try them on my 996 when the time comes.

POST 4Original post

I have Ferodo DS2500's in mine ATM and the dust is insane (and the noise). I bought a set of Project Mu Euro pads on recommendation from a friend that will be goign into my rebuilt calipers as well as a set of Hawk Street Pad 5.0 to replace the DS2500 try next. Used the 5.0's on my cars in Hong Kong before I came home and they were pretty good from memory.

POST 5Original post

I have used DS2500 with Squeal pads between piston and pads, never had a problem with noise (only slight dust). Great both road and track. Used on BMW and the 968.

POST 6Original post

Yeah have the squeal pads too...Think it is likely just that I havent been abel to run them as hard/hot as they would like
