Default Brake Dust
New C7 Z51 and the brake dust is horrific. Gets in jams as well as in side car and am sure we are breathing it.

Any hard and fast solutions???

Carbotech™ 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 800°F (426°C+). 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle or fleet vehicle. Carbotech™ 1521™ is NOT recommended for ANY track use.
