Brake dust issues... well gents, here we are again. Im having some brake dust issues. Whats the best way to keep it off your wheels?? I am having some serious issues with this. I have Factory replacement pads and rotors. Oh and this is only happening on the front wheels. Thanks in advance for the help guys!
You need ceramic pads from hawk or powerstop!
Factory replacement=Junks!
Check brakemotive on ebay, they got a good price on the powerstop evolution pads. I just put installed there powerstop slotted and drilled rotors w/ceramic pads for 204.00 shipped for all 4! SOOOOO much better than stock, wooot!

You could also make a brake dust cover for your rims lol It'd look goofy as heck though.Or every week, just spray down your rims with good rim cleaner and hose them off.
I'm sure my brakes aren't quality, and are semi-metallics, yet I don't notice barely any dust!
Stay far far far away from the cheap organics too!

okay, ceramic pads...what about the rotors? when i bout the car the rotors were crazy warped....way beyond having the turned, so i bought some factory replacements. Should i get some slotted rotors?
The only reason I went slotted, because I could not get regular rotors at a parts store for the price of the slotted from brakemotive. If you did not get the premium rotors from the parts store, I would replace them. If they are the premium rotors, just get ceramic pads and call it good. By premium I mean the best. Usually parts stores carry cheap replacements and a premium grade.

*To the op, you should be able to pick some ceramic pads for 50-60 bucks.
