Dirty Brake Pads.
I just installed new Cray wheels today. I drove 4 miles home from Discount Tire and the wheels were dirty. The brake dust is ridicules on my 13 Grand Sport. Stock pads. What's the solution?

Lol. That's ok Lisa. He doesn't have a clue about brake pads. Ceramic pads for $100.00? Besides, I've tried three different brands of ceramic pads that really didn't work for me. Their still dirty and don't stop well. Hopefully, someone has something that has worked for them and will let me know.
Auto spell check. Didn't catch it. Oh well......

Yes, I was being a smart ***.
But, I'm genuinely surprised that ceramics haven't worked for you. Even the cheap-o auto zone pads have helped with that problem for me.
Have you tried EBC? They have been amazing pads in my experience. Green stuff before red myself. But red were good too!
