Hey guys,
I'm looking into replacing my front pads and want some suggestions. Looking for low dust, and decent performance.. don't really need top of the line stuff. I was looking into Centric... Acura TL Centric Front Brake Pad Set - 1999-2003 Acura TL - Centric CE105.07870 ""POSI QUIET CERAMIC BRAKE PADS -- Longest Wearing, Most Advanced Material Available, Lowest Dust, Stable Friction Performance Across Wide Temperature Range, Provides A More Stable Friction Consistency, Ensuring Better Braking Performance"" $36 What do you think about these? There are like 2 dozen to choose from here : RockAuto Parts Catalog Thanks!

 So far no dust (unlike the previous hi-performance pads on that car).  I would have cleaned the front wheels twice!  One thing I noticed about the Centric Ceramics was the lack of a cooling slot down the center of the pads. On the Plus Side, they came with shims and silencing pads. They have a nice initial bite (at least compared to the Hi-Per pads). BUMP this topic in six months and I'll tell you more opinions. PS The OE Acura pads work quite well for street driving and are not excessively dust-prone. Look for a dealer offering online bargains...or print those discount prices and have a local dealer try to price-match. (I don't think OE pads will go for $36 though, more like $55 with no shipping charges.)
