Is there any brake pads out there that have a STRONG initial bite, but low dust also?

My brakes have a good feel to it, but I like it more grabby the second I engage. I like how the E46 M3 brakes feel and would like to get some pads that will give me similar pedal and initial bite feel.


Thanks.

after doing some research on the forums, I decided to go with Ferodo DS2500's on the front (found some on ebay for $160 shipped) and a set of Grandsport GS6's for the rears which were super cheap - like $26 from amazon.com. I was on a budget and I think I got the best bang for my buck with that setup.

I'll post my impressions when get them.

Me too!

I miss the bite compared to my Bimmer...

Already on second brand but no bit yet.

I should note that a friend w/ Evo X and Girodisc pads felt great with that initial bite. So, I installed a set on my VIII and no bite!

Now, I'm thinking these newer cars have electronically assisted braking i.e on X and bimmers...

girodisc magic brake pads. these are the best pads i have ever had. search for reviews. its a low dust street pad, which has great initial bite, has a built in shim. so low noise, and it has a heat range good enough for light track use. you will not regret it.

never had this problem. did you do the correct bed in. the bed in time sucks, but it is a great pad

Wtf is correct bedding? I did bed them by slamming the brakes from high speed multiple times.
