Help with BRAKE DUST!!!!

Sayzar · 11-02-2018, 03:42 PM

UPDATE!
I installed Akebono brake pad and what a difference they made, no brake dust at all. The braking performance is very good and I don't see the difference between the Akebono and the OEM. I highly recommend them

I upgraded to the M Performance BBK a while ago, and I am getting a ton of brake dust the same as my prior setup, what pads can i use that won't damage my rotors?

before doing the upgrade BMW change my brake pads, and the dust started, and now I am getting the same with these, and I am finding myself washing my wheel twice a week.

For street pads I use EBC Reds. Much less dust than M-Sport pads.

I've heard good things about akenbono euros. I have the same problem with my f10 after the dealer replaced the rotors and pads. There are a couple oe suppliers and I guess it depends who they get them from.

For least amount of brake dust +1 on the Akebono. Only thing I heard is that their initial bite is not the same as OEM.

I just had mine put on and used the EBC Redstuff pads, I've noticed zero brake dust so far. I understand the BMW pads that come with these kits are prone to a lot of dust and some say more noise than other pads. My Reds feel really smooth and grab great when needed. The DIY for replacing pads on these brakes look really simple so I plan on doing my own pads replacements in the future.

The parts you need if you end up going with EBC Reds are:
DP32133C (rear)
DP32130C (front)

Plus one with EBC Red. Way less brake dust than OEM and bite is pretty good

Sayzar, did you change pads? Which ones did you select? Less dust hopefully?

I just ordered Akebono, will have them install them next week.

I got Centric posi quiet from TMS on my rears and what a difference they made on dust. The fronts get so nasty after a few days I can’t wait to change those out.
