OK, I just passed 2300 miles on my 06 MT. Do the Brembo brakes(pads) put out that much more brake dust than the rears?

In one weeks time the front wheels look like I never wash the car while the back remain pristine. Checking the rotors in the back and it feels/looks like they are harldy worn. I realize the driving style plays into this but I am not a driver that does jack rabbit starts with frequent mashing of the brakes. I consider my driving MOSTLY mellow and conservative.

Is it possible that the brakes are are not setup right? Are there adjustments in the proportioning valves or similar? The overall driving experience is fine, nothing out of the ordinary to report but I have not been in any type of situation to push the limits.

I am going to have it checked at the dealer soon during first maintenance but just wanted to do a sanity check here first.

Thanks in advance.

 

normal.
welcome to the brembo club.
they work well, don't you think?
wax your wheels too.

waiting for an email from Zeckhausen (http://www.zeckhausen.com/Acura/TL_Gen3.htm)
to let me know when Axxis Ultimates are available for the 6mt fronts. you might want Axxis Deluxe; they dust even less than the Ultimates. a few more emails to these guys might get them brought in from Australia sooner?

btw, Goodridge stainless lines are available...

 

yes, I would love a set of the deluxe pads. I had them on the passat, great pads, very low dust, smooth quiet, good bite.

after i while i got used to the brake dust until i switched pads...holy jesus shit there is so much less with our aftermarket options.
