Many measures have been tried to alleviate this problem, with quite a bit of success. One of the cheapest is to buy "MetalMaster" brake pads from Repco. These are specially formulated to end brake dust, squeal and even stop you better than stack pads. Many parts houses carry them, and ads can be found in every issue of Road & Track and Car & Driver. My favorite source (because they specialize in Fiat parts) is Bayless Racing in Marietta, Georgia. They want $US 24.95 per axle for the pads for most cars. Address: Bayless Racing Inc. 1377 Barclay Circle Marietta, GA 30060 USA. (404) 422-6274 They will take orders over the phone if you can charge it to Visa or Mastercharge. I got my pads within a week of ordering. --berry Kercheval
