Default Sick of brake dust

Hello all,

I've had my 2004 S60 a year now and I love it. But OMG, the brake dust is driving me nuts. Okay, I'm way too **** about a clean car.

I've heard of ceramic brake pads but the more I read the more expensive this option appears; i.e. new rotors, installation, etc. Would any of you pleaseshare your insights on how I should address this issue? I'd like to be mindful of costs and I have nil experience in car repair but I'm not afraid to tackle something if it's easy enough.

Thanks in advance!

Just shop around some more. Most quality brake companies sell pads with less dust; Brembo, Hawk, Green Stuff, Wilwood, etc. In other words, you can change the pads with out having to change rotor, of course assuming the rotors are good.

THis site might help

I virtually no dust with these pads for the R model
