alright for the 07 owners.. what did you swap out the stock brake pads with because you all know what im talking about..

 

Not an 07 owner but its common for the Z... If you do a search you would come up with Hawk, Stoptech, Endless, Project Mu and many others... It all depends though... Less dust = less initial bite till you get to optimal temps... It also depends on your brakes (Non or Brembo)...

Well I hope that helps...

 

I posted some brake dust photos here: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ight=r1concept.

 

Most ceramic based pads should help reduce brake dust. I recently switched the OEM pad to Endless SS-S and saw a significant reduction. Nismo pads are also low-dust, although im not sure they have a pad for 06-07 brakes... unless you have brembo.

 

Get some wheel wax from Discount Tire. Stuff is great for your wheels plus it helps reduce the amount of brake dust accumulation. It's like $15 and it'll last you pretty close to a year.

 

I have an 07 and haven't noticed an appreciable amount of brake dust. I do keep good care of my car and I see brake dust more on the rag than on the wheels when cleaning them. I'm not one of those guys that goes from 60 to 0 in 2 seconds either when stopping at a light.

 

Impossible to stop in 2 seconds from 60 mph [88 feet per sec] in a Z.

Maybe 2.75 seconds is possible at 1.0G deceleration assuming tires are soft and new.

Consider that most high quality pads dust the same, just in different grades of granularity and color.
