there are low dust brake pads you can put on--im using Remsa pads which you can barely see the dust. when you wipe the wheels down you see it on the rag. im sure there are more brands, so check around for low low dust pads. there will always be brake dust, but you can reduce it

Dont use your brakes as much, downshift and try slowing down by hitting small animals, pedestrians or mailboxes.

Try not to slam on the breaks too much. But there are of course lighter color brake pads or lower dust brake pads as well. But remember they are brake pads and do they wear down no matter what brake pad you get. Best thing to do is also clean them more often

WOW...that about hitting **** is FUNNY AS HELL......lol.......yea, just downshift (i dont go harder than 4th-&gt;2nd @40mph)......be careful not to eat any brake dust, cause that **** will give ur *** cancer

also, coast as much as possible....this will increase pad life, and ull have less chance of warping ur rotors

Try getting some KVR Performance or Brembo, something cross drilled, those would work well.

If the aftermarket brakes don't help with the dust, well, you're just gonna have to learn to drive.
