Which brake pads and discs?
Lewo:
I had some brembo discs on the front and they warped even from my pathetic attempts at driving. Replaced the with ATE and no problems since.
The only good thing on the brembos was the black edge finish which lasted whereas on the ATE's they weren't painted to rusted pretty quickly.
mjmallia:
I usually get Pagid disc and pads......the discs in particular for the quality and that they are painted, so do not rust like others.
Recently though I have gone for EBC grooved and dimpled for the front and MTEC grooved and dimpled on the rear. These had the option to also have to painted from factory and have held up well.

What pads have you been using with the new discs, how are you finding them compared to the Pagid for dust.
mjmallia:
You will always get dust, but with my recent setup I am using Brembo pads all round. No issues or difference in dust creation.
I have the 345mm front and 310mm rear setup

The dirty wheel is the rear with Pagid pads. That's only after about 100 miles. After another 100 it's really dirty and the front stays far cleaner. I just find it really annoying haha. It's definitely put me off Pagid.
