Brake pad question

Im looking to replace my brake pads on my 2011 997.2 Turbo. I am looking for a brake pad that has low dust. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have PCCB's? I just ordered a set of Pagid Greens (motosport pads) for mine. If not try the Pagid Yellows.

I don't have the PCCB. I found Porterfield R4S so far. They are carbon Kevlar composite. Anything better? My brake dust is unreal

The brake dust you are attributing to the pads is actually from the rotors.

Friction Mechanisms
Abrasive Friction

One must be careful to not sacrifice performance for low dust. See Adherent Friction.

Certain performance pads do offer adherent friction compounds appropriate for Porsche and others. Be sure to check these out.
