    Can anyone recommend pads to go with standard rotors that dont generate brake dust or very minimum . I just had my wheels refurb and its a nightmare at the moment

    Use alloy wheel sealant,easy to clean after,just rinse them.

    The idea is to have less dust, not to clean lol. I already have c5 on the wheels

    Ive fitted EBC Red stuff front/rear to my TT.
    Very impressed with brake performance and very little dust on my shiny wheels.
    Well worth the money.

    So how steel rotors react to ceramic ? Do they wear out quicker ?

    Ive only had them fitted for about 3 months so far.
    No signs of any additional wear to the discs.
    No sign on the wheels( dust etc).
    I had to wash my car and clean my wheels every weekend. Now if the body work looks ok, 2-3 weeks would be ok for my wheels.

    Currently rung EBC greenstuff on the front of my discovery and the brakes are,
    A, much better stopping power I wouldnt go as far as awesome but bloody good compared to std.
    B, feel much better underfoot.
    C, little to zero brake dust.
    D news discs fitted at the same time and havent noticed any visible wear lip.

    Downside 15k and they are just about shot, i know heavy car (2.7t) and my driving style dont help.
    Quite expensive as well, but the lack of cleaning needed certainly offsets the cost.

    I had the Green stuff on my previous A4.
    Better than std braking but they wore out quick with dust.
    Red stuff are more expensive,better stopping, feel, little to no dust.
    I will have to see how these last.
    So far i would buy the Red stuff again tho.

    I dont work for EBC
