No brake dust?

[dabink]

I have about 4100 miles on my Genesis and I've noticed that I never see any brake dust collecting on the wheels. Don't know why this is but I think it's fantastic. Anyone else notice the same or know why? Even more happy when I pass a BMW with wheels almost obscured by black brake dust.

Yup, I noticed this as well. My Lexus blackens the wheels in 50 miles after a wash.

Through all of my readings, this is one thing the Genesis is known for--far less brake dust than normal competitors. Must be the compound they are using. The only thing that makes me wonder at this point is usually with less brake dust comes more rotor wear because of the material hardness in the brakes. Time shall tell.

Likely using ceramic pads.

Both of these statements are very true. Usually, a good slotted rotor will even out pad to rotor wear ratio...It has for me at least.

Nevertheless, the brakes on my '12 V-6 are superb. I really like the way they perform.

It is the ceramic pads.
