True, if they're put on cheap rotors. I have crossdrilled/slotted brembos and PBR ceramic pads. I'm about to change the pads but the rotors are well within acceptable specs. Brake dust isn't an issue for me because I only drive maybe 25 miles a day, it takes a couple weeks for it to be noticeable. The only "issue" is ceramics tend to squeal at high temps but I don't care cause they stop better than those overpriced ones at the stealership.

i have the ecs slotted and cross drilled front and back with ebc's red stuff brake pads and yes i have brake dust on the rims but it is not near as bad when i had normal rotors and the factory pads, i also brake prety hard at times and it takes about 2 weeks for my chrome lip on my wheels to start getting non chrome looking

Take off your wind shield sprayers(forget what there called at the moment) mount them over your rims then whenever there dirty you just spray them down while driving! Do this to all 4 tires. get pics and make a DIY[sm=closed.gif]

high quality ceramic pads will help also. Brake dust is unavoidable, it just happens.
+1 on these they reduce alot of brake dust but it is still there, i have EBC greenstuff on my car and they make considerably less dust, or lighter dust anyways.
