Low Brake Dust Performance Pads?

[westcoastGT]

I appreciate this! I am going to order them now. Do I really need to have them resurfaced after just 2500 or it should be okay just to throw the Girodisx Magic Pads on?

The rotors will be fine its dust build up just it give a couple of hard brakings and it clears , the rotors will be like new if only 2500 miles

One more question if anyone has the answer to it. Is it even worth going through the hassle on trying to get the dealer to put euro spec pads on or just purchase aftermarket pads and call it a day?

I don’t know that the dealer would have access to the euro spec pads.

it's the easiest brake job I've ever done. Just do it yourself.

I'm not sure why but it bugs me to run mismatched pads. I ended up ordering these:
Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads

So how are these pads working out?

I'm looking for low dust and little bit better performance than stock pads. Does it have better initial bite?

No more juddering?

Thanks

I've just ordered a set of white wheels and I've got the vibrations from the stock pads. Seems like a good opportunity to kill both birds with one stone. Can anyone recommend a low dust pad that will perform for spirited driving and occasional driving events?

The vibrations you're feeling are from hot spots created in the rotors from the pads themselves. Simply put, the oem rotors can't handle the brembos so rotors surface becomes "uneven." You can put new pads in but if your rotors are screwed then you will continue to have vibrations. This is a common issue with the stingers. I'll give kia a pass on this one since it was their first shot at a true performance car. Best of luck to you.
