interesting...any compromise on stopping (track) or noise?Originally Posted by Bill in Atlanta
I love how everyone says "live with it" on the brake dust...answer is simple: change to kevlar/ceramic pads. Easy to do (I did all 4 wheels on my GT3 in ~an hour). Many brands out there; I used Carbotech Bobcat and I would estimate dust is reduced by ~75-80%. Hope this helps.Bill

Simple solution: sleep 6 seconds less each day. Walk faster to get places 6 seconds faster. Originally Posted by PKing Fast

Cracks me up when people complain about stuff like this.

No..I dont track my car so cant comment to that (and note that the Carbotech Bobcats are a STREET pad..they do have several track pads). No noise at all and rotors look great, pedal feel and modulation is terrifc. I have these on my Turbo as well (with 10k + miles) and rotors look as new. There are several good articles online re: this pad material/compound and affect on rotor wear. Carbotech has a good explanation on their site as well. BTW, no affiliation with Carbotech (in fact I'm still waiting for them to produce a Bobcat pad to fit the wifes '11 Cayenne...that car has the WORST brake dust I've ever seen).

Bill I've heard that Hawk has a pad for the Cayenne that dramtically cuts the dust down. I read about it over on the Cayenne forum on Rennlist.Originally Posted by Bill in Atlanta
