Question Brake Dust Question

Just bought a 350Z Roadster Enthusiast and am having what I consider excessive brake dust on the wheels. Does this get less with a little age on the brakes? or is there any advice regarding a way to lessen the accumulation on the wheels?

Thanks in Advance

Not trying to be mean, but use the search forum's, there a lot of info on this.

Here is what you need to do. CHANGE THE BRAKES: Only the front ones though.

Hawks or Greenstuff pads seem to be the top choice. I have the Hawks, $70 shipped from tirerack.com

No dust, a few squeaks though. Love em.

"Ditto" zand02max comments. You will have dust with the OEM pads forever. Save your "Wheel Cleaner" dollars and buy Hawk HPS from www.raceshopper.com. Got mine a couple of week ago and love them! Cost: $56 + $9 S/H = $65. Tell them I sent you! Also, if you plan to install yourself, go to www.zchickz.com The install instructions/pictures they have for Hawks and other after market mods are the "best", plus it is a great site. These ZChickz have it together and know their "Z's"!
