I’m tired of cleaning wheels. Anyone replace their pads with something that doesn’t cough off so much dust?
PowerStop Brake pads and rotors. No dust!!! Call Jegs or Summit racing for your specific application and they can help sort out what you need.
Any moderately quick driver can hump a ceramic pad into submission within a few laps on a track. But for a street only car you probably wouldn't notice any difference.Can someone outline the tradeoffs with a pad/setup that doesn't create as much dust? I'm guessing that ceramics don't perform as well so the tradeoff is squeal and dust in exchange for slightly reduced performance.

The factory ones are actually quite good. They easily outlast the tires.
What are the differences between the two different metals (aside from asthetics) on the Caliperfexion studs?
I'm sure Tob will have a more complete answer, but I prefer the black steel versions because they're less likely to corrode in contact with aluminum. They're also stronger, but in this application that's not really a factor.
After this next track day I'll probably be looking into a brake replacement and those studs are going to be the first thing ordered.
...There is indeed the potential for a galvanic reaction when two differing materials come in contact with one another along with an electrolyte...
...To aid in mitigating the potential for any a reaction at the joint, Caliperfexion supplies a blister pack of ARP thread lubricant...
...You'll be happy you did come time to change pads...
If you know your scales then only one correlates. That said, the numbers I quoted are right in line with respect to each alloy as necessary for this application.Awesome information. Which Rockwell scale are they using? Values are way low for any steel really.
The thread lubricant was added to the kits because it's simply a good idea to use it.What? Wait? Why am I using WD40? Did I miss something?
I think you meant to say "The thread lubricant was added to the kits after you bought yours because it's simply a good idea to use it."...The thread lubricant was added to the kits because it's simply a good idea to use it.
You can't be serious?^^ Mine dust like a friggen MoFo! It's Awful..PowerStop Brake pads and rotors. No dust!!! Call Jegs or Summit racing for your specific application and they can help sort out what you need.
