Raybestos pads

I've searched here but couldn't find any info.
Anyone used the raybestos brake pads? I wanted the wagner thermo quiets but they were out of them so I got the raybestos professionals semi metallic.
Just wondering how the brake dust will be and how well they hold up. They have to be better than the stock I'd think.
Got the rotors turned and they seem to stop good. Hope the dust is not as bad as the stock pads.

All the experience I've had, the semi-metallic will have dust, it's the ceramic pads that don't.

Raybestos is the OEM supplier of the stock pads.

Oh man! Guess you just blew Q'man's ship right out of the water! LOL! Seriously though, the stock pads ARE junk. I plan on going to Hawk pads myself, damn tired of spending 20 minutes cleaning brake dust off my nice alloys.

I sold them for years and you will enjoy the same dust that you have come to love from your OEM pads. They will hold up ok but as stated earlier you want the ceramic pads to reduce dust.

Have them order the Wagner Thermo Quiets. High quality semi metallic with almost no dust. I'v had them for almost 50,000 miles. Replaced my stock pads at 11,000.
