Exeter Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 is it just me or does the front set of wheels gather up brake dust like CRAZY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lextcy Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Thats because they do most of the braking I forget the percentages, but the rears have a minor role when braking to a stop However the park brake relies on the rear brakes only If that makes sense ;) Thus the fronts gather more dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frylai Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 is it just me or does the front set of wheels gather up brake dust like CRAZY? The IS and the JDM Altezza uses differnt brake pads so we get a hell of alot more brake dust. Matt :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneyes Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 ...and the tyre guys spray silicon oil everywhere to make the tyres look black, which then sits on the rims and picks up all the brake dust.... But yeah, the fronts get lots of dirt and just need a wipeover with a rag frequntly. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use your brakes :D or when they need replacing, change them to dust "reduced" pads. I wash the wheels less frequently now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ROLLN Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I haven't noticed any brake dust to be honest or not to a level where i've noticed, hopefully i've got some aftermarket pads!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
