Exclamation Break Dust!

Hello, I have a 2006 lexus is250 with 112k miles on it. My break dust is insane, I washed my car and all of my wheels(blacked out) and inside the wheel-well and litterly 1 day of driving in the city for 30 miles the front two wheels turned brown! Is there any break pads out there that will get rid of my break dust problem? let me know thanks!!

Don't expect the low dust pads to eliminate the dust, just lower it. I am running my second set of low dust oem pads and the dust is still unacceptable to me. But, what are you going to do, live with it I guess.

Ive seen pics of cars without low dust pads and those are crazy. Ive had low dust pads since I got my car and mine have never even been close to that. Not even like 20% of the dust in a car without low dust pads

I think you just got to bare with it. I think there is a spray that you spray on your wheels to prevent the brake dust from building but not sure if there is something to prevent it from sticking to the car.
