Brake Dust Question...
Anyone know if it's possible to lessen the amount of brake dust generated on the front wheels? I've heard ceramic pads are a little better however they still produce dust. Is that true?
Thanks in advance for yout imput.

Have had Raybestos Q ceramic/metallic's for over 4 yrs on my 00 Coupe. They dust more that I like but are better than factory. No difference in pedal feel or stopping power.

I think all pads will produce some dusting. The ceramics generally produce less though.
