Just looking at changing our r56 Cooper (non s) brake pads and discs.

Car isn't driven particularly hard/never tracked.

Just looking in ECP and one of the things with the current pads is the crazy amount of brake dust. Happy with OEM braking power but from the usual brands available anyone got any recommendations that perhaps don't coat the wheels in brake dust so much?

eg. EBC Ultimax Brake Pads DPX2056 claim less brake dust (think greenstuffs will be overkill) but i've only used greenstuffs on another car so not sure how their OEM equivalent pads stand up.

Cheers for any advice

Honestly - get OEM. If you search on Ebay you will find a good deal. Failing that I would get Brembo from Eurocarparts
