I'm getting as much dust as the wore out pads from when the car was purchased.. wouldn't think 1 day or "normal" travel should be showing that much..
These were a door prize at a Eurocharge event..

What's the brand? For spirited driving Ceramics are not generally the way to go.

Just concerned me when it started the squealing on the Dragon.. And if we ever get things over with CarID on the Lexani wheels.. dust is not going to be acceptable.. Maybe my new roadster needs front pads.. LOL

This reminds me:
1) Do research on brake pads over the winter.
2) Replace all brake pads and bleed the brakes to the last drop of their ten year old fluid.
3) Do not attend the Spring Dragon without doing 1 and 2 above.

ceramics aren't bad, but your fluid and lines might be. If you don't think ceramics are good, then don't be in front of me....lol
