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
 
I had my place ceramic coat the wheels and calipers with 2 coats.. It's easier to clean for sure but it doesn't stop the dust from collecting.. It does only take about 10 mins to wipe off the wheels though with the ceramic and a proper brush..

I too am waiting on a proper pad to reduce the dust considerably. Sadly I am NOT mechanically inclined so I can't do it myself and I don't really trust a shop to do it like @kitkat did and not cut corners..

I guess I will wait until someone comes out with a perfect fit pad.

I’m installing Racing Brake’s new pads in 2 weeks, will let you know how it works out.
 
The most direct way is to replace the brake pads with more metal components, but ,can the original brake pads withstand is a problem, and this brake pad will have a sharp sound when the heavy brake, my other car replaced the high-carbon steel brake disc and track brake skin, brake performance improved a lot, dust is less, but more noise
 
Hey guys, installed the RB brake pads today, initial feedback so far:
The brakes are great, more grabby than the OEM Ferodo pads, yet they still feel very modular to use.
The only downside so far is that the front brakes "click" while driving over bumps or potholes. Not sure what it is, but I am sure I installed them properly.
They produce minimal noise and SO FAR the brake dust seems to be very minimal too. I have washed my wheels today and will report in a week or so with pictures.

Also FYI: Since they are more grabby, your ABS will engage way more often than with the stock pads, I was driving over some speedbumps today and stopped suddenly from maybe 30mph, and the ABS engaged earlier.

Def would love to know how much brake dust after intervals of driving.. Right now I can't go more than 6 miles without dust, and at 25 miles it's pretty thick, over 50 miles and there is a ton (this is in city driving with traffic mind you).

Mine go on tomorrow but my road test will be delayed a bit - bloody weather. Any update?
 
Is the EBC Red Stuff pad for the Evora the same fitment for the Emira? I can't see a Red Stuff option on the EBC site for Emira (but GRP sell them) DP3042C and DP3036C

I’m pretty sure it is the same fitment as the evora gt, I got a set fairly early on and it was advertised as such on various sites.

Hi any further impressions now that you’ve have a couple weeks driving them?

Initial observations -
Installed after 20 miles / 45 minutes on the stock pads and noticeable dust (not surprising to anyone on these threads). Dust since then is indeed minimal, and no noticeable noise. Grabbiness is pronounced, but in fairness, I had no real time with the stock pads, and am overcoming a bit of muscle memory from the car I’ve been driving. The install was easy.

Would you recommend?

For dust and ease of install, very much so. As to grabbiness, it’s a little much at the moment but I’ll likely adapt with more drive time (I’m just 120 miles in, and have a little muscle memory to get past), and curious to see whether any of the bite abates with use.
