I have replaced the pads had them checked and all that, and nothing seems to be wrong. I was wondering if any of you guys have had similar problems and what you think i could do about it Thanks mzatt -95 Contour GL -00 Integra LS

You need to buy a set of KVR pads or Mintex pads. they give little to no dust. you can find them at www.spmotorsports.com 1999 Silver Frost SVT #2412 of 2760 DOB - 7/30/99 MODS: BAT Inlet Pipe /w Monster Flow Filter, Rear Strut Brace, H&R Sport Springs, Koni Sport Struts, Panasonic CPQ-DF800u, Baer Brake Kit, Brembo Slotted/Crossdrilled rotors for rear brakes, rear KVR Pads, ASA JS6 17" w/ S-02 Pole Position, B&M Shifter, 22mm Rear Sway bar, Bassani Exhaust.

The carbon fiber pads I did try lasted a very long time, but they didn't grab well initially in wet weather--kidn of scary. ------------------ Matt Harrell matt@mattharrell.net www.mattharrell.net Matt Harrell matt@mattharrell.net www.mattharrell.net

When I wash the car, the wheels stay clean for at least two weeks, and even then, there's not nearly as much dust as there normally would be with the stock pads during the same amount of time.

I haven't installed them yet because my stock rotors are below spec and until I can buy new rotors I am gonna wear out the cheap pads I have. I don't want the thin rotors to warp with good pads on them. -Andy Andy Watson '99 Silver SVT #2397\| DOB 07/29/99 Graci! American Iron Shoot Out - Event Promoter! Check it out, we need your input!
