I want a perfect world! I need a good set of pads that perform great at the track but do not produce much break dust and can be used on the street too!
Is there such a thing?
I doubt it. If not, what is a good compromising pad?
How are EBC Greens on the track?
How much dust do EBC Red or Yellows make?
Any help is appreciated. :confused:

Brakeman 3. Produce a average amount of dust & noise. But a great pad on the street and track.

Only pad I'm aware of that produces little dust is the EBC green. And they are NOT track worthy. From my understanding, the EBC Red and Yellows dust like any other Viper pad.... But can use those pads on the track.

In the world of death and taxes,EBC greens is all you get.I've tried several types,and have sacrificed stopping power for cleaner wheels.Andre Agassie says image is everything.

quiet and low dust Viper pads for street use are EBC Green and Porterfield R4-S (the "Dash S" is the critical part as R4 is full track pad with noise & dust).

Fine for the street but neither will hold up on a road course, bt-dt.

I've got the Brakeman 3 on now and they're not too bad.

EBC Greens seem to be better for dust, but don't seem to grip as well as brembo pads. The ebc still give off dust but no as bad as brembo's do.
