Question About Brakes...

I've got a 2004 6MT; I understand the brake dust is due to the Brembo brake pads on the 6MT's, but why does it accumulate only on the front wheels? Also, I've got 40,000 miles now and am thinking about changing the pads; any suggestions for ones that don't accumulate the dust? Thanks.

cause when you brake most of the weight of the car shifts to the front and because of that the front brakes are under alot more pressure than the rear. get it?

I havent changed my brakes yet but i hear the Hawks brake pads put out alot less brake dust. you can find them at tirerack.com

Because only the FRONT is BREMBO and you use 70% of the braking in the front. 30% in the back.
