Brake pad recommendations

Does anybody have any recommendations for non-OEM brake pads? Just curious if there are ones out there that produce less dust

iSweep. I have been importing them, used them, and selling them to fellow BMW M owners.

I think I've put close to around 5000 miles on them and they're really sensitive even coming to a stop from a 200kph+ pull . I think I've finally broken them in

IS2000. Amazing bite than factory but the brake dust is a bit more. Overall I prefer performance over the tad of brKe dust. Nothing a bit of IronX wont take off

I also went with IS2000, better bite, seems like about 50% less dust than OE...
The 1500s are supposed to be much less dust but about the bite same a OE.

Hmm strange, my Liquid Silver HREs get dirty in 1-2 days of highway driving and 3 days or so of city driving and my wheels are ceramic coated aswell.

Thanks. Admittedly the factory brembos while dusty, come clean with sonax rather easily. As long as you're not going weeks between washes. Having said this, I'll still go with a lower dust pad come time to replace the factory ones.

Yep. I've had my HREs on before swapping pads and noticed it already. Weirdly enough I'm down to 4mm at 12k km on OEM pads 😂

With iSweep brake pad?
Is it dirty because of the brake dust or road dust?
Also, how long have you had the iSweep on?
