I'm looking for a brake pad that will be:
I'm finding the AP2 Pads dust a lot
1) LOW on dust compared to the AP2 brake pads
2) Not be worse in performance than the stock AP2 brake pads
3) Make little to no noise
4) I'm only using them on the street and I will never track or anything


Please help with what brands you've used from your experience, I just prefer a low dusting pad or pad that has barely any dust and then secondly it has to perform like the stock pad, as long as its on par with the stock pad, I don't do any high speed braking or anything crazy, just want less dust, cause its killing me to clean my wheels from all the dust.

Please help

OEM AP1 pads Less dust, same performance and low noise.

Get the OEM AP-1 pads.
Less dust,better stopping power.!!!

I was reading somewhere, that AP1 pads have less stopping power, is that not true?

Emil St-Hilaire

Not true.

I installed new brake pads (AP!) even though they didn't really need it. While I was at it I spend an extra 30 minutes and painted the calipers. Calipers look sharp and the brake pads work great. Only problem is when I go and drive my SUV. I end up SLAMMING on my brakes at least 3-4 times on the wway in to work....completely locking up all 4 tires since I'm use to the braking on the s2000. I'll learn slowly but surely .

Quick question.....can you replace the brake pads without bleeding the system or is it better to replace the fluid? I've always bled the system when I go to replace my brakes.

^ For what? You don't need to.

Cuz the level of the fluid changes from the wearing of the pads. Just a safety measure. Thats why I asked if its necessary. I guess I don't have to then

The level of fluid should be the same as it was when the car was new. Where does the fluid go?
