Default Brake pads

Are there any good options to replacement brake pads which will not produce as much black dust as the original pads? We have a 2017 F-Type. Thanks

Both the Porterfield’s and the EBC pads will reduce the brake dust.

Do you happen to know the part# for super performance front EBC pads?

My pads are still in good shape but I want to replace them so much. The amount of dust the OEM create is just insane. Anybody know the difficulty level of swapping the pads?

Fairly easy if you know the tricks.

Lots of threads on here related to that, some with full directions. 'Search' is your friend.

No personal experience of EBC yellow pads.

EBC own website states


EBC Brakes® Yellowstuff is designed for faster imports and high horsepower cars where maximum stopping is the prime requirement and for short duration track use. Its dust rating is similar to OEM parts

Redstuff (EBC lowdust) - is NOT for high performance driving but a very good pad, just don't track it
Yellowstuff (EBX Track pad) - as dusty as the stock pads, better bite, no fade when very hot but it may squeal

YOu can't get low dust track ready pads. Stuart at VAP stated that he can get Porterfield to make pads for the F-Type in R4 compound (track), that will be dusty but probably very good for track.
