    Looking to swap pads out for something that produces less dust but still good performance.

    Thanks

    I have to admit the stock pads on my '16 dust the wheels in no time.

    I've had these fronts for a few months. Very low dust, but they work quite well!

    The stock pads on our 2016 A3 are the least dusty OEM pads we have had yet. Does anyone know who makes the brakes on our A3/S3's?

    I think I am going to give the ones on tire rack a try first. I have been using adams polishes wheel cleaner and it's working well but have you wash them once a week to even if I don't have to wash the whole car.

    Are you looking for just an OEM replacement or get the next step above for performance?
