4.8is dustless brake pads
So what are the best dustless brake pads out there?

As far as i remembr i think for the 4.8, dont u need Axxis fronts and then something else in the rear?

Can someone point me the right direction, im in need of new brakes.

Also if im gettin new brake pads, would i have to switch out the rotors as well. I have 20,000miles on my car and want to replace my brake pads.

The only standard pad that fits are the EBC's, although you might like to read the following threads and draw your own conclusions. Other members mentioned that Axxis were due to have their own version I think.

Cheers

LVR's right--you might want to check with boardsponsor Dave Zeckhausen to see of Axxis has started production of front fitments for the D920 (4.6/4.8 pad shape).

Try this porterfield R4-S combination of axxis brake dust and oem performance,I did it 4 months for my 4.8is conversion very happy with the results less brake dust and racing performance.$160 for the front....
