I hate brake dust!!"

S10Wheels · 07-12-2006, 09:14 PM

I'm tired of allways cleaning my wheels, dirty wheels & tires make the whole truck look like S**t.
I can't wait till my pads wear out, so I can replace them with ceramic pads. Brake dust is like fire ants, you can't ever really get rid of them.

ceramic pads are nice, but i still get a bunch of road grime... they dont stay "clean" any longer.... just not as much BLACK dust.

***raider600*** · 07-12-2006, 11:03 PM

me too... only got maybe 5k on mine, still perfectly smooth though...

liffick · 07-13-2006, 12:16 PM

not to whore, but i have the same problem, and i ran ceramic pads on my old car for about a year or so and my rotor stayed perfect, and i ran the shit out of that car so the stopping power is there if you need it

I know they're kindof expensive but I have the cross drilled brake rotor "simulators" or "dust covers" i baught before i got the real slotted rotors & ceramic pads. they make the truck look really good behind the wheels IMO, and they did an awesome job of keepin th ish of my wheels, so i didnt have to polish as much, just my $.02

subzidal · 07-13-2006, 03:08 PM

i dont get break dust at all actually. now that i think about. before and after ceramic pads and rotors.

How's that work, do you use your brakes at all or do you stop with your feet?
