Thanks
Rick

Yea, invest in some Hawk ceramic pads! GM uses good brake pads but they do create a lot of dust!

I'm in the same boat... I probably travel, max... 10 miles a day if not much less. I live 5 minutes from my job. No construction, just seasonal rain, but for the life of me I have to wipe them down 2 times a day...

Not that I'm complaining... I love Aubry so much! and she pops!

I think they're better than most ---- check out BMWs and Benzes if you want to see brake dust. Comes with the territory with great brakes.

Of all the brake pad materials, ceramics brake pads provide low dust and low noise for your vehicle.

Brake dust with the brembos is normal. Mine are dirty like 10 minutes after wiping them down.
