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.

Textar
Textar makes good pads but they get brake dust everywhere. They are currently the stock ones on my 23 m40i.
Pros: good pads
Cons: get brake dust everywhere

Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.
Pros: rear pads fine
Cons: anti-rattle decal melted, rattling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 19312 km
Well, I just put Textar pads on and am looking to swap them because they\u2019re super dusty and squeal with light pressure, so I too would love some recommendations.
Cons: super dusty, squeal
I recently replaced some on a 981 with Textar and don’t recommend it. So much dust and some noise at low speed braking.
Cons: much dust, noise at low speed
