Brake Pads - Brembo Car
I am bout done with having to clean my wheels every other day due to brake dust... I don't track my car (at least not yet, I can swap later if needed) and these Brembo brakes are horrid for keeping them clean.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for keeping as much performance as possible but without the mess. I know it is usually one or the other, but there has to be a balance somewhere within reason.

Brake Pads - Brembo Car
Those pads are horrid for brake dust. A lot of the guys have switched to C-Max pads. Sounds crazy, but others have success with it. Also the Hawk makes a good pad.

Yeah, I've heard the Hawks are good upgrades. I plan to do ceramic probably around first of the year.

I have been getting better at down-shifting... I tend to get people slamming on their brakes behind me that way though.

Remember brakes are cheaper than clutches. I hardly ever down shift.

I'll stop over at my local auto-zone to see if they have any in stock. If this humidity lets up at all this weekend maybe i can figure out how to install them.
