Bayless Racing Inc advertise REPCO deluxe pads that are guaranteed
not to dust squeal or fade. On the other hand, under normal
conditions, 70% of the brakeing force is generated by the front
disks. This suggests that the front brakes will generate more than
twice as much dust as the rear, so that the same pads will show
different results.
