Looking for a low dust brake pad

KrisTallx5 · 08-18-2023, 02:21 PM

Hey guys I recently purchased a 2015 f15 X5 and I have to say in all the cars I have ever owned this has the absolute worst brake pad dusting. I have silver wheels and it really shows. Is there any good brake pad that will have good bite but way less dusting? TIA

Akebono

Beat place to buy? Found them on eBay for just over $80

i thought folks had good luck with powerstop? i've ran akebono euros and while they had low brake dust they didn't have much bite. i was definitely happy with the low dust tho. perfectly fine for daily driving... just don't expect a ton of performance from them

It is just the feeling, they stop the car as good as the stock, just initial bite is less aggressive, I got used to it in few weeks, doesn't change the stopping distance.

A Terrific choice for street use. Truck stops same as OE.

I always use the PowerStop rotors - but, throw their pads in the garbage can.

i fine on the f15 the oe brakes does not dist as much as older bmws such as e70 x5. Op you might have aftermarket pads on the car.

KrisTallx5 · 08-19-2023, 12:21 PM

The dealer I bought the car did do the brakes before I bought it so they could have cheaped out. It is terrible and I'm not even exaggerating.

I’ve been happy w/ my Brembo ceramics.

Mine is MY15 with little over 100K miles, still on original BMW/OEM ones and rotors. Have not noticed any dust issue although they're close to touch the sensors. I'll go either OEM one or the ones the other folks have experienced without dust issue.

You might replace the pads before the sensors wear through.. no need to replace the sensor cables, then.

I switched to Powerstop last year and wonder why I didn't make the change sooner. Cleaning rims these days is a breeze.

Anyone know how the akebono ompare to the brembo? I run the brembo pads on my other SUV which is a Lexus and no complaints buts also not a performance suv by no means.

KrisTallx5 · 08-26-2023, 01:29 PM

Are the power stop Z23-1294 a good pad choice also? Low dust but good braking?

I believe the F85 guys are running those powerstop pads with success and no squeals. But yes, akebono pads have low dust too
