break pads ware and ware causes dust the dust is remnants of the break pad it cant be avoided that's life, you could fit those nasty type covers which shroud the caliper and breaks so the dust doesn't settle on you nice alloys but if you have painted calipers they wont be seen

I have PBR ceramics, the brake dust is very light compared to the originals. They squeek like crazy though.

Generally an easy process. However, on the rear you need to twist the piston as you push it in, some people have trouble with that - but they eventually all get it to work out.

so its not like i could wicked f*ck the breaks up if i did it as a saturday DIY or somethin right? ...like i couldnt make them not work..or could i ?
very very little expirance with breaks
: )

I Love my car... But hate the brake dust.. how do I fix it.. My rims get dirty off a half a tank of driving. Theres gotta be some way to control the dust... I think maybe if I get different brake pads it will fix it.. But.. im not sure.. could be the disks...
