Ok for whatever it's worth blocking off the brake cooling ducts definitely reduces the dust on the outside of the wheel. I used Gorilla tape to block off the ducts on the driver side, after 200 miles there is a lot less dust than on the passenger side. Probably not a good idea on a track car but for a street car driven by an old man it should be ok. It cost next to nothing and if I decide to go to the track or take a spirited drive in the mountains it can be undone in about ten minutes. Not sure how well the pictures show it but take my word for it there is a lot less dust.

Carbotech Performance Brakes™, the world leader in Ceramic friction materials™. It was over eight years ago that Carbotech started building brake pads out of Ceramic, Kevlar, and Carbon for street, autocross and racing applications. Carbotech is the only brake pad manufacturer in the world with a complete line of Ceramic compounds for street, autocross, and track use. Carbotech-Ceramic™ compounds are known for their unsurpassed release & modulation, while maintaining very consistent torque control characteristics. Carbotech brake pads are extremely rotor friendly and contain 100% non-corrosive brake dust, that’s something that has been unmatched by any other brake pad in the industry.

G.S brake dust
Is there a post showing how to change the pads on the G.S. I pulled my base car calipers off to have them powder coated no problem.
Are the G.S. more difficult to change the pads etc.

On the front there are two large holes in the underpan behind the front air dam/splitter that are easy to reach and tape over. The rear is a little more difficult. I put the rear up on ramps and taped over the exit points on the ducts which are pointed at the brake rotors. I think I mentioned in my earlier post that I used "Gorilla Tape". So far it appears to be holding up pretty well (but it's only been a few weeks).
