Dust covers, no way! Go buy some Raybestos Quiet Stop ceramic brake pads. These will take care of brake dust.

Brakes normally create a fine black dust that gets, yes indeed, all over your fine wheels. You can wash this off with some soap and water.

I installed Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramic pads with new rotors 4 months ago. They dust so much less than OEM you have to see it to believe it. If someone told me how much they reduced dusting w/o seeing it for myself I would think they were bs ing me. You can get them at Pep Boys, fronts were $56 and rears were $46. Waxing your wheels will also reduce dust accumulation and sure makes it easier to remove. Yes they are also very quiet.

If you want dust try this combo" powerslot rotors and EBC green pads.

Just kidding. They dust like a **** because of the slots. Stop on a dime tho, and make that cool noise when they're heated up like a racecar!

That is interesting, I have cross dimpled and slotted rotors on my car with very little dusting. Could it be the EBC Green pads or are powerslot rotors slotted differenly than Brembos. Just curious.
