Brake Dust on new brakes
Hi there,
Are new brakes (100miles) suppost to leave lots of brake dust on my shiny wheels?
I'm not braking that hard (least I don't think I am). If anyone out there has got some
suggestions as to which pads to use that would be great.

Ah, the Joys of Audi. Clean those wheels!
Well, they're not supposed to make dust like that, but Audi's OEM pads sure do!
Many folks replace theirs; Pagid, EBC and other brands have been used. Do a quick search and you'll find more than enough info on it. Cheers!
P.S. Seriously, clean the wheels--the dust can pit the finish.

Yup- that's what happens w/ stock pads.. I went with EBC's.. Huge difference in
brake dust... It's almost a non issue now.
These a very good performing brake pads too.
I believe others have gone w/ Mintex w/ good results too.
