Does anyone carry ceramic pads for these brakes? That would help immensely.

To the OP, welcome to the world of having high performance brakes. It's even worse when using a more aggressive pad. I have tried all sorts of street and track pads, Hawk DTC-60, HPS, Ferodo DS2500, DS3000, Axxis ultimates, EBC Green, and the list goes on. However dusting is secondary to me. I much rather prefer to have dirty wheels that need to be cleaned more often, than to have a softer, quieter lower performing pad.

As a side not, P21S wheel cleaner gel works great at getting the dust off.

if youre so worried about getting brake dust on your wheels then just get ceramic pads...

MrGazinya · 07-31-2009, 01:43 PM

I use an old California duster the smaller type.. works pretty good on the wheels

LSxJunkie · 07-31-2009, 04:50 PM

Just make sure there's a good coat of wax on your car and on your wheels. The brake dust on the wheels will wipe right off. A little quick detailer on the car once a week and you should be golden. I once owned a Brembo car. The dust is the tradeoff for having amazing brakes.

I'm in Eldersburg too, but I haven't seen your car yet (I have seen a red one and a yellow one with black stripes.)

Do you ever go to the car show at the Home Depot every other Saturday? I'm not sure if it's a certain club or if it's an impromptu thing, but there are usually some nice classics as well as a few newer cars there.

your kidding right, i don't know if you are or not with no smilies

if not i never heard of anything like that

and if your worried about your paint you could always clay bar it and test if it is in the paint

I have the problem with my STS-V. According to the guys on the Caddy site, the Hawk pads seem to help this immensely. Might be worth a shot.

Shadowmind · 08-11-2009, 01:50 PM

I have it all over my IOM as well on the back wheel well.

Not kidding. Wiping down your freshly washed/dried wheels with a used dryer sheet will decrease static buildup on your wheels, therefore, less brake dust sticking. Try it.

I've been on vacation the better part of the last 5 weeks. It stays in the Garage upon threat of rain-- the 08SS Impala does rain duty. I'm on Caren Drive and usually have the garage door open drinking cold ones, washing Harley-Camaro. I've driven up Home Depot but ain't big into sitting around for hours.

I was thinking it was having nice brakes- just wasn't sure. I'll just have to make sure I give the tires/rims more attention when cleaning em. The stuff you posted about says to wait 2 hours after spraying?? Kinda long. That adds a twelve pack to the cleaning process!!
