Brake Dust

I replaced my stock with HPS& power slot rotors. I could not be more satisfied. They are quiet and make practically no dust. I wash my car twice a week on average, with stock brake pads you have to spend extra attention to get the dust off, with HPS pads hardly any time is spent. It takes 2 weeks to create the same amount of dust as the stock pads did in 2 days. Great stopping too, all I need now is new fluid and ss lines and I should be all set. Bought mine from Alex at Tire Rack.

Changed the stock pads on my 06 MCSa to EBC Greenstuff pads... No other brake mods, and the dust was reduced to about 25% of the original problem. Added plus is a little better brake feel.... If I were to do it again, I'd go to ceramic pads, as my experience with them in the past on other vehicles has been great... No dust at all....

^^^ What he said HPS pads with 13" Wilwood BBK and almost 0 dust. Last weekend I put 700+ miles on the car....200 of which was at a 2 day track event and they were cleaner than 2 days just driving around town with the old stock brakes. Keep in mind that some of the dust comes from the stock rotors in addition to the pads.

I haven't changed anything with my brakes BUT I have found that Simple Green cleans the white wheels like nothing. Just put the simple green on a cloth or soak a paper towel with it. The dust rubs off with NO effort. Just sweep around, don't worry about leaving all the black gooey streaks, then rinse off with a hose. Very quick. Very easy. You can get Simple Green in a spray bottle or larger jug to refill spray bottles with. At Home Depot and WalMart and I'm sure plenty of other stores.
