what is the best way to reduce brake dust...

is it the brake pads that give it off? All I know is that mine crank it out like tomorrow, and it's annoying having to clean my wheels all the time...

I'll second that vote for the Raybestos QS pads. Very low noise and dust.

I sixth the Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramic Pads. Very quiet and very little dust. Also went to cross drilled and slotted rotors. I also wax my rims. Buy Quiet Stops at WWW.RockAuto , fronts are $42.06.and rears are $37.58. Lowest price I've found. 25% cheaper than Pep Boys!

Sure is. QS may be a cheaper alternative though.

If only there was some way to convince my mom to pay for em...it's hard asking her cause they've already given me a $14,000 car, fixed a $1400 dent, and a few other things, so brake pads that aren't necessary probably won't go anywhere...oh well. maybe when these need replacing.

I second the OEMs. I had my changed at 60K miles, my car is now at 81K and they still don't make any noise, and don't have to worry about brake dust. OEMs own!
