The dreaded GS brake dust problem

I would recommend trying the OEM pads on your car before switching. Doesn't cost anything to try them. I found that the brake dust problem is essentially a non issue on the Z51 (same pads). I used to get a little dust on the Miata but just wiped it every couple weeks. No corrosion, no staining. With the Z51, same thing. Just drove 80 miles city/highway mix and I couldn't notice any dust on the wheels (painted silver color). If wipe my finger, some dust is there. Just not objectionable at all (to me).
I love the way the OEM brakes stop the car. Not worth it for me at this point to switch. Your mileage may vary.

Loved the way they stopped and I thought I could easily keep up with the dust issue. After a 650-mile weekend getaway, I realized they had to go. Chrome wheels were black and the barrels looked like they were painted black. I am a cleaning freak but this was ridiculous
