Has anyone found better brake pads for the standard brakes to reduce or eliminate brake dust?

 

I would like to know as well....I called my local shop...they said nothing shows up for the new AMG GT 55.....

If anyone finds some good low-dust/ceramic brake pads that will fit our car....please let everyone know...thanks!

 

Is there any products from Redstuff and Akebono yet? If brake dust is the only concern, perhaps coating the wheels with a ceramic coating so it is easier to wash?

 

I checked both and couldn't find any...my local brake shop couldn't find anything listed for my car! Hopefully we see some options eventually...so looks like will have to coat the wheels

 

Hmmm, the ones from R232 doesn't work? Or is there nothing for that model as well?

 

The only ones I have found are these, but I don’t see rears listed, and I do t know much about this brand. I read various reviews from people using these on other vehicles and the reviews are mixed, some claim dust disc there as OEM, some say they dust way less.

Ya I don't think it is a good idea to go with these, brakes is a safety thing, you want to get something proven. Forum members recommend Redstuff, perhaps you could email them and ask when they will be available?

 

Thank you. Here are the rear pads:

I assume the GT 55 and GT 63 use the same brake pads so these front rear pads should fit on both

Anyone due for new pads soon that are willing to try them and give us some feedback?

 

I’ve emailed them and they told me there is nothing for the C192 platform.

 

That stinks and no eta?

 

Why is it a safety thing? Brake Pads are brake pads......unless you are racing the car and putting them under extreme stress. 95% of the people will not be racing their AMG GT. They may push it occasionally, but you will not be doing that much on public roads. The company makes brake pads for thousands of cars. Their slogan "We know brake pads"

 

I mean safety thing as in brakes in general, I don't know, maybe the brake pad material may fail even during normal use if it not a trustworthy supplier? Obviously don't get no name brands from ebay or something.

 

I am worried about quality issues on lesser brands or no name brands, if you have to do emergency brake in any circumstances, the last you need is the brake pad failing. Better safe than sorry is my thinking.

 

I installed low dust pads. The trick is our cars use a pad from the 22 sl55. I bought them from carid.

I have since gone carbon ceramic

 

oh wow! Could you please give us more detail, as you seem to be the only one out there who has attempted to fix this problem. What pads did you use from the SL55? How was the dust issue with those pads and how was pedal feel?

 

You just order low dust pads for the 22 sl55amg. they are available but if you try for a 25 gt63 you will be told they aren't available. I purchased 3 sets before this was figured out to order formthe sl55.
The braking felt the same as factory and the dust was reduce by 75%.

I purchased them from carid.

 

Not sure they are any better than these:

thank you, do you remember what brand brake pad you purchased? What made you eventually opt for the full carbon ceramic retrofit?

 

Sorry, I don't recall the brand. If I remember there were a few choices. I have carbon ceramic on all my cars and I am also a clean freak. Even though the low dust pads were a huge improvement I just wanted zero dust.

 

Reviving this thread in hopes someone else out there has found a solution to one of the most horrific parts of the ownership experience of this vehicle

 

They are available. you have to use a 22 sl55 as your car. It uses the same pad as our cars.

 

Too lazy to search-- which brands or can you link?

Did you add?

 

I just ordered the pads linked to below for my GT55. Once I get them installed I'll report back how they perform and how they reduce the brake dust.

Awesome, I never thought the GT would have worse dust than my m's but it does or close.
