Does anyone have the EBC break pads on their TT? Does it REALLY cut down on break dust?

Default Significantly reduces brake dust ....
but I've heard too many people complaining of abnormal rotor wear to recommend them. Personally I never had a problem with them, though.

I'm now using Porterfields which are 'rotor friendly' and result in even less dust. Jerry at MyRoadster.net has them for the TT.<ul><li><a href="http://www.myroadster.net">MyRoadster.net</a></li></ul>

You might want to look into Porterfields.... a few of us have had warped rotors from EBC's...
