Brake dust, EBC RedStuff VS OEM, Plus DIY Front brakes
If anyone is curious about how to change your front brakes here's is a how-to.
I also compared the dust levels of the OEM pads vs the EBC redstuff
Thanks guys

I'm using the EBC yellows and that's what I've been saying all along in various other threads.
They dust the same.
Btw, I always clean and apply some copper grease in the pad channels on each end.
I also use a wire brush to clean the pins and spring.
Those breaks are the easiest ones to work on ever.
Nice video.

The EBC reds do have that "clicking" noise you mentioned in the video coming from the front rotors whenever you go from drive, to reverse, to drive which is annoying for sure!!! Doesnt seem to affect the stopping power at all.

I clean the non-painted parts with just brake cleaner on a paper towel
Kenneyd - saw your video yesterday and it was super helpful your explaining how to replace the fronts so thanks for sharing! I have the EBC reds and from my experience based on hard braking specifically, they do seem to create less brake dust than my MB OEM pads. But again that was under conditions of very aggressive braking where I saw the biggest difference. With casual driving, I agree there doesnt seem to be any difference in brake dust.

That's it The first inspection after changing the pads there was definitely a lot more dust, similar to the original opening shot of the wheel. However I lost that footage somehow, but the EBC definitely had more dust.
Anyway, it had been like 4 weeks since I started this whole thing and I just had to finish the video so that's why I shot it with less dusty wheel lol
