How is the brake dust with the Endless pads?
I just swapped to Endless ME20 for my non-daily, but it's not obnoxiously loud, I could see myself daily driving it.
Pros: not obnoxiously loud, suitable for daily
Vehicle:
BMW
I run Endless SS-Y’s on the street, and have never had to clean brake dust off my wheels even when running white ones. They’re fantastic
Pros: fantastic, low brake dust
I use endless me20's on my FL5. i've had no issues with it on the street, and is obviously a very very good track pad primarily. if you're fine with a little squeal, these are good imo.
Pros: very good track pad
Cons: a little squeal
Vehicle:
Honda
I’m using Endless CCrG pads on street and track. I have done 5 track days this year at 3 different tracks and daily drive my car and they have held up really good and have no noise or anything on the street.
Pros: held up really good, no noise
Cons: less initial bite
I'm now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.
Pros: last longer
Cons: overheating fronts, hard on rotors, hard to get affordably
Vehicle:
Porsche
DBA pads love to squeal too.
Cons: squealing noise
Used to use the DBA XP pads but they were far too dusty.
Cons: far too dusty
Part number: XP
