There are three things you can do to keep the brake dust down.

First, you can buy Rotex Gold Pads. They are not as great for stopping but you will get less dust.

There is a dust shield available that fits behind the wheel. I don't like them because they reduce air flow, ie: cooling, but if you don't do a lot of hard braking, I would assume they would be fine. They are black and are hardly visible. A practical solution.

If you have an Auto stick, you can use the downshift more often to help with the braking. That will reduce your need to overheat your brakes.

There is one more way, but you must have a stick shift. (the way it should be) I hardly use my brakes being more of a "momentum" manager than just push to go and/or stop. It means you work harder driving and not hardly at all cleaning your wheels.

I was asked once what brake shoes I used. It seems at the end of an aggressive run through some curves, everybody but me had to get out a rag and clean their wheels. I told them they were stock pads. Nobody believed me.

They are.

Stick Shifts Rule.
