I went with Textar epads from ECP for their lower brake dust properties. Very happy.

I’m currently using EBC Yellowstuff and Mtec drilled discs and would be happy buying them again, I don’t get any squeal and performance wise they tick the boxes. Unfortunately I wouldn’t describe them as low dust although they aren’t any worse than the brembos they replaced. I haven’t tracked mine as of yet but they do get regular fast use.

I’m sure I’ve read about a few issues on here about the yellowstuff’s but they get my vote :thumbsup:

I've also got the mintex pads and mtec discs, they do the job but it's a hell of a lot of dust.
