Exclamation what brand pads ???

hi to all'

i m really tired of rattling and dusty brakes.

i used to be a driver at a pizza place.

Driving in city all the time cause pads to be hot. 30 minutes after i start to drive they start rattling and make a lot of dust.

i need your experiences, which brand or kind is less dusty and less noisy ?

I was happy with Ultimate Axxis.

For less noise you need to use shims.
Disc brakes make noise.

Shims come with some pads.
Attached is a generic photo.

added: There is also a paste you can add to the carrier where it touches the pads. I think it's all a waste of time and money.

I bought Akebono Euro Ceramics last time from Tire Rack. They stop great, are quiet, and make very little dust.
I use my car as a daily driver, not on the track.

My local guru recommends ceramic pads for all the reasons dave just posted.
A few years ago I put a set of Raybestos pads in my wife's 525i. They're still going strong, little dust, only noise is when backing, and no bad rotor wear.
