Default Brake Dust

Why do I get soo much brake dust? I swear I wash my Z, and by the time I drive home the wheels are dirty again. I dont ride the break either, its actually one of the things that annoys me most that people do when im driving with them. What can I do to help fix this??

Hawk race pads, we have all had the problem. They are inexpensive and really work. I have no dust.

Race pads? I think you mean Hawk HPS - a street pad.

Changed to Hawk HPS's too...

OEM pads have good bite but man they're like black chalk! Compound is way to soft.

I'm running the EBC Green Stuff pads up front now. Way less dust than stock. They are quite and brake as good or better than stock too. Hawk HPS produce less dust than stock too.

I have both EBC and Hawks in stock if you want some.

Thanks,
Gary

I heard the hawks suck. I'm looking at Axxis Delexe right now. Not sure how they compare to Green Stuff.

Nice, thanks. I may be calling you up in the near future, my brakes are just about done...can you get the upgraded larger non brembo front rotors that still use the factory caliper? I think Stoptech makes those...

Sounds good, look forward to hearing from you. You could receive them within 2-3 business days of placing an order, we ship everything with FedEx.

Thanks,
Gary

Can you beat this? They want $699.99 for the kit and is exactly what I want, but I'd want the Deluxe pads instead of the Ultimates.

We should be able to get you Deluxe Pads with that package and get you a good deal on it too. I'll talk to StopTech tomorrow when they open and find out for you.

Thanks,
Gary
