I'm looking for a recommendation for low-dust brake pads for my '03
Tacoma.
I say "low dust" because I understand there's no such thing as "No
dust".

Thanks

as long as it's no asbestos, it's a lot better.
i'm not sure of what the metal pads leave for residue, but the composite
materials do leave dust. in any case, use a dust mask.
unless you're one of those buttcrack mechanics with a cigarette hanging off
his face, you'll want to be careful.

I have never had a problem with dust. I use only genuine Toyota pads.

Ok, I think I'm going to go with the Adebono's
And it looks like I'm going to have to figure out if I have the 9.8"
or 11.6" rear drums, to determine which pads to use up front.

I'm going to also replace the rotors. They're warped. I should
probably start a new thread on this.... I'm wondering if other Tacoma
owners have had problems with the front rotors warping. Mine warped
when the truck was barely a year old. The dealer replaced them. Then
a couple years ago, I has them turned, they were warped, but not so
much they couldn't be turned to fix the problem. Now they're warped
again.

Thanks for the suggestion.
