    Brake question

    Okay so, my rims tend to attract alot of brake dust. I mean like within a day of washin my car there is a noticable amount of dust on my front rims. Anyone have any suggestions on what it might be or a way to get it to stop?

      Some pads are known to create more brake dust than others. Which pads are you currently running?

      Also, they make some cleaners that are brake dust repelent, might want to look into those.

      I have noticed that if you clean your rims with any sort of liquid that is gel like or thick, it tends to make stuff stick even more so.

        I think the car still has some OEM brake pads on it. I'm not sure I just know that the dust is ruinin my rims.

            my mother's '01 Civic had organic brake pads, which hardly made any brake dust at all. i actually asked if they made any for our cars but it doesn't look like it.

              change to a set of hawk HPS pads. Those shed very little brake dust and give you a performance advantage...faster stopping.

                Can you get those anywhere? How much do they go for $$ ?

                    they're usually around 60 bucks for the fronts. And yeah I think only the Akebono Calipers can use them so make sure thats what you have first. But they're def. a quality pad. I used them on my Powerslot accord rotors as well as now on my Vigor calipers/rotors and they hardly fade at all. You'd REALLY have to do a couple 100+ mph stops to max them out
