I just purchased a 2020 Audi S7 and the brake dust is HORRIBLE, has anyone else experienced this problem? Has anyone changed to a different brand of pads or anything?

I can't say that I find it all that bad. A quick spray with Iron-X and rinse and they look as new.

I had my s7 for a month, and I noticed horrible brake dust on the wheels as well. I am considering ceramic coating so that I can just easily wash it off.

I cannot believe there are no aftermarket ceramic pads available yet. At least I can’t find any and I’m dying with this brake dust.

Has anyone found any yet?

Get your wheels ceramic coated and the dust virtually disappears

You’re 3 years in, 2.5 of which were under Covid, that ceramic pads don’t exist for a niche car ? It shouldn’t really be that surprising. Ceramic pads also don’t have as much dust for a good reason - they don’t have near the coefficient of friction of a semi metallic pad. I’m sure rears exist, since the caliper isn’t anything special. Fronts? Tough to make a business case for $150 pads for a car that ultimately very few people bought vs the prior gen car

lower dust + excellent friction pads exist, but something tells me you’re not going to like the price ($450-$550 a set of fronts). They do however, work great. Endless offers multiple compound options.
