Brake dust

fabio · 10-03-2016, 05:06 PM

Hi
Just changed front brake pads , and i can clearly notice more brake dust on the front rims .
Is it normal ? Is there a possibility that i have not installed correctly the brake pads?

Thanks

Your post is lacking vital info. What pads did you install? What was previously installed? Some pads do dust more than others. Ever see the front wheels on a bmw?

OEM pads, from the dealer. It was OEM before too.

The dealer may not have put OEM pads on. They may of gotten the pads from a parts store. Seen that before.

heard the nismo pads create quite a bit of brake dust comparing to regular sport. in fact, I don't see much on mine (sport).
