I have the 7.5" disk brakes on the LS I was wondering how big I cna go for disk brakes and if I kept my 7.5" brakes what pads can I use to reduce the brake dust as generally i have to cleam my rims 4 times week to keep them clean. What brake pads do you recommend keep in mind also this is a daily driver and also how much would I expect to pay for a set of pads that reduce or have no dust so to speak or is this even available?

hope Ive explained myself if not please ask me to elaborate.

i got some premium pads from brakes plus and they let off no dust at all. the retail price was really high on the pads but i got them cheap because my cousin was working there. but they are good, they are a goldish color and last ages and good resistance to heat fade. but they do crystlise a bit so in the mornings they sqeek a bit but it goes away quick

I use EBC Greenstuffs, they are a Kevlar pad and there's really no dust at all.
Great fast road and track day pad. 8)
You can also get EBC Blackstuffs, they bite better when cold but do make a small amount of dust. Fade faster than Greenstuffs though.
