What kind of pads??

What kind of brake pads is everyone using?? I get soo much damn brake dust on my wheels and I dont drive very agressively... whats the deal?? I have Acura pads front and rear and the dust is horrible!! Or does anyone know anything you can put on your wheels to keep the dust from sticking??

People have told me to wax my wheels (what a PITA!!!) and then the brake dust will hose right off... you could try it. I haven't done it yet because I'm lazy, but it makes sense.

I've heard that AEM brake pads are pretty good. I still have stock Acura pads. I'm not sure about any that don't give off less brake dust. Also, I think the performance pads work better after they warm up. So if you get some, your car might not stop as well at first.

I've got AEM on front and back....no brake dust that i can see, and i've got chrome wheels. I guess i'd reccomend them.

Let's just say I'm on my knees longer than a blow job.

It takes a while... not as long as it takes Brian to clean his Konig Imagines though; those things are INTRICATE... lotsa tiny spaces.

Wonder who told you that? Either way, I haven't noticed OEM pads dusting that badly, but if it does for you, you have to balance out two factors. Noise vs. dust. In stock applications, I've had nothing but squeaking problems from NON-oem/Genuine Honda brake pads.

You know it babe... I'm feeling a lil rude today, felt like I needed to say something to liven things up a bit. Brake pads are so BORING, right? Additionally, as one of the only girls in a forum filled with guys, some of your guy humor rubs off on me, right? And that kinda sounds like something guys would say, right? Well, maybe butch gay guys. Or something. :-/ Never mind.
