Brake dust problem and solution

I could not stand the rust/brown colored brake dust that would build up on the wheels of my '18 Grand Sport. Just driving a few miles would become a headache to clean them. I decided to film a video for my YouTube channel Ozzstar on how to swap out the original Brembo pads for an alternative less "dusty' option. I hope the video is helpful for anyone doing a brake job on their C7 Vette. The process is straight forward and fairly simple with just a few tools. Thanks for watching -Ozz

Thank you for the great videos! I love watching your videos. You are very natural in front of the camera and always describe things really well. Other people leave out some of the details that make some of these jobs seem more difficult than they are. I love that you give us lots of details without being overwhelming. Keep up the great work!

Yep the thing to do! Changed mine out on both C7's.

The stock pads are awful they dust really fast and it covers your car.
