[Mk2] [Turbo] Looking for a low dust pad

Post by Extubby »

Hi all

I have recently put my newly refurbished split rims on my car after months of sanding and polishing to get the dished lips looking nice. Now, my very good carbotechs like to cover these in sticky dust that is going to ruin them in no time. I have put many coats of sealer, wax, autosol etc on them but it just eats through this and welds itself to the wheel.

Can anyone recommend a good pad that does not give off the sticky dust the Carbo's do?

Dust's fine - almost dust free compared to carbos
Good track pad & fine from cold, as I said 95% as good as the carbo panther plus - they were too dusty for me too.
Shop around but I got them from:
http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/
Just over £100 I think for the full set delivered.
Got 10% for IMOC membership iirc.
