I saw a comment by a Nissan engineer that said they chose break pads for the 370Z (even the Nismo model) that produced less break dust then normal but it resulted in increased brake fade and lesser braking performance. Car and Driver magazine found out about the brake fade when the brakes stopped working in a test and they crashed a 370Z NISMO model. They did a follow-up test on the brakes and the pads played a part in the failure (I think the lack of brake cooling was the other issue). However, I was suprised Nissan would knowingly decrease brake performance to decrease brake dust. Maybe the brakes in the 135 are worth the extra dust! I know I have done a few laps of a track in a 135 and never had any brake fade. I'm know there are pads out there that produce less dust...will they negatively impact the braking performance???
