aem brake pads are pretty good for the price. plus they dont yield much brake dust.

......and combined with slotted rotors

saved me a few wrecks after 100+mph highway battles.

i think they have brake dust its just not as dark as others. sometimes brake dust means good. ever see like high end bmws with black front wheels its hafe and hafe becouse the pepole dont wash the car enough and its the brakes just have that much froce and the pad bruns off alota dust but stops nicely

No theyre not theyre fuckin awful.
They arent much more than a step above OEM pads. As for dusting they dust a little but it is hard to notice since they are a light colored pad.

If you want a decent street pad for for some Hawk HPS pads or look at Carbotechs line of pads. Both are good choices. EBC is ok but Im not all that fond of em.

Ive got the metal masters and thought they were awesome compared with the $11 discount auto parts pads I had on there originally. I still think theyre pretty good for the money but loads of brake dust follows.
