Low Dust Brake Pads?

I put Porterfield Low Dust Pads on my 2013 E63 on my car at 500 miles. Definitely better than stock for dust, and similar performance, but there is way more dust than the Akebono pads I had on my W211 E55.

I have 44k miles on my car now, and want less dust. I'm interested in hearing experience with EBC Redstuff pads, or Hawk pads. Are there any others I should look at?

EBC redstuff is pretty good and low dust.

If you want super low dust pads (as in almost no dust), check out the Rado pads.

That's awesome. Thank you. Looks very similar to my Akebonos on my E55.

Akebono is the best I have seen for low dust

Wonder if they will make pads for our cars, I search but no luck, I will need pads soon and looking at EBC Red but would rather Akebon.

Just ordered (ordered them 2 weeks ago, and received them 1 week ago) a set of EBC Red pads for my 2015 E63S. Was hoping to install them over the holiday weekend but was working all weekend.

Will get to them in the next few weeks I hope.

I had EBC on for one set No issues

I am not on a set of RADO., Some noise when cold, first winter. No dust but I will return to EBC. RADO are no new rotors.
I wish Akebono would make a pad for our cars I think they are the best all round.

E63
CarboTech - 1521 Street Pads have very minimal dust. About 80% less dust than factory pads and still have better stopping power.

My wheels used to be covered in brake dust after 1 trip with factory pads, now I just quickly wipe them down every once in awhile with Carbotech pads.

The best pads for street use (not track or autocross) are the CarboTech 1520 pads. Better clamping torque than factory, ZERO brake dust, and they last forever. I have just over 50k miles on my set of pads with no visible loss of pad thickness. I drive and brake my E63 very hard everyday, not a single issue. Have the same pads on my Z06, same results. They aren't cheap but they are the best.
