You can replace your brake pads. There are a variety of pads on the market and some are designed for "low dust". One brand that is real popular is the EBC green pads. These bite good and give off very little dust. If your running Brembo calipers, you can call Brembo and ask which pad will fit and give off low dust. Or call Zeckhausen Racing at 973 761 5054 where I get my track pads. They might help you with low dust pads for the street.

If you don't already know this one, check out this site for Z parts. 350zsource.com. They have a lot of parts for the Z at realatively cheap prices, and they'll most likely have the break parts you need.

PerfectApex, what kinda of track pads do you get? I am running Porterfield R4's at the track and have been looking to see what else is out there for the stock/non-brembo models. I have been using Raceshopper.com my brake needs so far...

edit: Wow, I think I will use these guys from now on, but I would like to know still what pads you get from track pads.

I run BHP XPS fronts and Ferado DS 2500 in the rear. And I have gone thru some pads this year.
