Any way to fix the brake dust?

Hi there
The brake dust on these cars is pretty nuts.
Has anyone come up with a solution to this?

Either pads or some sort of treatment I can put on the wheels?
Thanks a ton
 
Got you. Our XT910 is a copper free new compound developed about 3 years ago - A successor of ET500 that you see in this review 10+ years ago.

XT910 is a compound for street/spirited driving with excellent modulation (very liner instead of on-off), good & consistent friction at elevated temperature yet very low dust and "no squeaking".

We make pads for 2 pc rotors and brake kits only to assure a reliable supply and overall braking performance. Since we only offer limited applications so only those who have used them can well appreciate how good they are but I will leave it to your judgement.

Our ET/XT pads were notably popular in the following communities:
  • GTR
  • Mitsubishi EVO 8/9/10 w/Brembo calipers
  • Subie WRX/STi
  • Mercedes
  • Acura TL w/Brembo calipers
  • Camaro SS
  • Tesla M3
Let me know when they are released for the Emira please.

Update
I just got back from RacingBrake a little bit ago. It was very nice to meet Warren and his team. Everyone was very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.
They removed, precisely measured, and weighed the front and rear discs, front and rear pads, and test fitted cross-compatible calipers and pads.

Warren is excited to get pads, BBK, and CCB options to the market for us as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

Here are a few pictures of the process

Are there pictures of the CCB options mounted?
Unfortunately no, we did not get to that point. This was more for pads and rotors initially but I’ll be going back to RacingBrake a few more times to get all the options ironed out.

Warren has already sourced some OEM parts to help test fit without having to disassemble my car every time.

A quarter of their shop is OEM parts they use to test their products. About 400-500 complete front and rear spindle/hub/brake assemblies.

You can sure see the difference in coverage of their brake pad versus the stock pad. By any chance do you remember what the weight was for the front rotor? The picture you posted is of the rear rotor.

Correct, the larger pad is what will be offered but with minor changes to fit our OEM rotors better. Very big difference.

I believe the front rotor was right at 20 pounds but I’ll let @Warren-RB confirm.
