Excessive brake dust

[Kkirwan71]

What causes this other than crappy driving? Withing the past month or two the amount of brake dust on my front wheels has gotten terrible. Any reason why?

inspect the pads for abnormal, uneven wear.

my new AC delco pads are dusting like crazy too....quite annoying

 

[Jared]

I always had good luck with Wagner thermoquiet and brakebest select

Whatever is on my car now has none, and I love it

That's what I'm going to do today since I have to rotate my tires anyway. When I need brakes I want to upgrade a little bit any suggestions there?

Ceramic pads will produce the least amount of dust but will eat rotors up quicker

Would an upgraded rotor help with that?

No.

ceramic are harder thats why they beat up the rotor more.

i have ceramic on mine, pads still look good, rotors starting to look a little rough.

Just checked the driver side and there's plenty of pad and the rotor isn't eat up

Same with the passenger side

Ceramic was a solution not a cause

 

[Kkirwan71]

So ceramic pads and new rotors could help

You probably have crappy or non-cermamic pads. Oreilly's house brand cheap ceramic BrakeBest pads are the shit imo. Really cheap and really good. No dust, don't wear quick or uneven. I've ran them on my last 4 vehicles and would recommend.

What would be the equivalent of the oreilly's pads feisty was taking about?
