Default Brake dust

Is anyone else battling brake dusk. Seems like after every outing my rims are dusty again, just got rotors and pads change. Didn't make a difference

What pads did you install? You need a low dust pad. Carbotech 1521 is a good choice to reduce brake dust. It is an all around good pad. $270 and about 15 mins a side to swap.

what pads did you buy? The Carbotech 1521 will solve your brake dust issue while still maintaining optimum braking performance.

Carbotech™ Bobcat 1521™ The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

The stock pads are filthy. Never seen so much dust. I was cleaning my wheels daily. I installed Hawks.... Padletts on the front..Part numbers are HB532F $93.70 I think thats the rear and then HB531F $$167.00 Front's? I got them at Amazon. These last a long time, have zero dust or noise and are priced right.
Good luck.
