I like Centric’s Posi Quiet brake pads. A little more bite than original pads with substantially less brake dust.

Pros: more bite, less dust

Vehicle: BMW

The brake pads you use make a huge difference. I had a Mustang before I bought my 340i that was insanely dusty, so I switched to ceramic pads and it’s made a massive difference. I’ve used them ever since. My car is mostly a garage queen who sees a back road on rare days when the sun is just right, so they’re perfect for me.

Pros: massive difference, low dust
