Black dust forming on my rear bumper and wheels
Im being told by a few people that its brake dust but im not sure how it could be getting all over the back. My main concern is that around 4 days after i clean up the rims and tail the dust is back. Does this mean that my brakes are about to go?
Extra info: i have front brembo calipers slotted rotors eibach lowering springs stillen hi cats stillen headers and injen cold air intake a cambering kit was used so the wheels didnt bow out from being lowered

Im not sure what my pads are. Im assuming their brembo I just recently purchased the car with the modifications already done to it. After losing a tire I found out that I have a cracked rotor so im replacing my pads and rotor anyways. The struts in the rear are pretty shitty at the moment so ill be replacing those by christmas. Hopefully this solves my problem and if it doesnt ill throw up a picture to see if anyone can recognize my problem.
If you end up switching your pads to a lower dust pad I would recommend the Hawk Ceramics, they are a low dust Performance Ceramic pad. The dust is just the brake pads doing what they're designed to do, the lower your dust, typically the less stopping power.

So I might have higher performing brake pads? Ill probably take the trade off of washing my car more if it means better performance but ill have to take a look at what pads I currently have.
Well I guess I should have explained a little more on that. Your typical Autozone pads can be dirty, yet still not perform as well as, say a HPS. Gotta be careful when "trying" to comparing apples to oranges. Hawk HPS and Hawk Performance ceramic are both good pads, the Ceramics won't bite as well as the HPS but they will be less dusty.
