With better brakes comes brake dust. It's kind of like spending more for gas when you have more power. It is what it is.

Having looked for the right product for a long time, I HIGHLY recommend ArmorAll brake dust repellent. It just works (no affiliation). I can go a couple weeks without touching my wheels - avoid water and do not touch the wheels. Leaves no residue.

I don't have a problem with brake dust, but it's probably because I clean my wheels often that it doesn't build up.

......... who wants to down grade a performance car? I mean wasn't that the reason for purchasing one. I'm just saying I wouldn't change performance parts for regular parts for looks or convenience. JMO

It's all about the pads when it comes to dust. The factory pads do put off a good bit of dust, though not as bad as if you put on cheap ones from autozone. You can buy good, low dust pads for any vehicle.

Its not the stopping distance its the brake fade during high speed driving and track events that the SS brembos bring thar we are looking for. At least for me.
