Any way to fix the brake dust?

[luciddaydream]

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

Agreed, that's the tool you need. Seems a wild price for something that is a modified caulk gun

Hawk Ceramic Pads are super low dust. I can confirm the rears fit and I'm waiting on the fronts to install. But they are specific sizes for the AP Racing Calipers that the Emira has, so I'm confident the fronts will also fit but I'll report back. Here are the Hawk Part #'s. 585's in the rear 586's in the front

Armor All Brake Dust repellent or Autglym Protectant. Both a spray can you apply after you clean your wheels. Have used both for years. Both work great on silver wheels. Autoglym not suitable for black wheels as it leaves a white film, can't speak for the Armor All product on black wheels. Armor All product cheaper to buy. Requires reapplication after each wash. Apply like you would paint from a spray can, fast light passes. Needs to not be driven for about an hour to allow it to dry so may not suit your situation.

Keep in mind rotor annulus and pad thickness are measurements that’s separate from caliper backing plate shape. Like how much of the rotor is used and how thick the pads are. You specifically don’t want a mismatch on the first one.

The Hawks are Identical to the OEM pad in all dimensions. In fact Hawk specifically states the pads are for AP Racing Caliper AP RACING CP7040D61 (Front) and AP RACING CP6600D55 (Rear).

This only helps you if you take the caliper off. It's not slim enough to go only in between the caliper and the rotor (if you keep the caliper on the car).
There's other tools designed for this type of a brake caliper if you keep it on the car - example https://www.essexparts.com/essex-caliper-spreader

That's a cool tool.

Thanks for the tip.
