Brakes for FG XR6T

LOWAU · 17-07-2012, 05:35 PM

I just bought an ex-police FG XR6T which has pretty new brakes on it that work very well and have pretty good initial bite. Not sure of the brand.

BUT, they are very dusty and squeak a little once warm.

Can you recommend a good pad that isn't dusty and has good initial bite, also while cold (freeway driving)?

Or am I asking for too much and should stick to the metallic high rotor wear dusty pads like the ones I have now?

Pretty much stick with what you have for now i reckon as there really isn't a brake pad that will do what you want.The QFM HPX is close at $80 a set but there is still a risk of possible squeal under light braking although the dust should be minimal. Most low dust pads don't have the initial bite although still work well under normal driving.

Thanks, once these wear out I might have a look at the HPX pads that you have.
