RE: SV: brake pads

[jacobss@greatoaks.com]

I would never recommend a dustless pads, I would recommend the Ferrodo
Street/auto-x pad, Velocity and GPR carry them.  Great pad for stopping your
car, fast, good fade characteristics, and well dusty, but they are rotor
friendly.  The problem I have with dustless pads is you are giving up
something in the process. And most likely it is stopping ability, I really
like to be able to stop.  Washing my wheels once a weak does not hurt me,
conversely not stopping could really hurt bad.

I have the Dustless pads, And they are very dustless.  They have been on the

car for 5 years now so they last long too.  Drawback=When they get wet they 
do not work.  meaning there is about a three second delay from when you push

on the pedal to when they decide to stop the car.
