Brake Dust Issue
Anybody having issues with lot of brake dust on their RC? My car is white i can see brake dust all of the side doors and the fenders all the way to the rear fender.

Yes, the high performance brakes on these cars shed a lot of dust. Thankfully mine is black so it doesn't show as much. The only thing you can do is swap out the brake pads for Performance Ceramic brake pads.

Yes, I noticed this in the first week of owning the car. I put splash guard only for the front side from eBay. It helps reducing A LOT of break dust on the side profile.

Not so sure it is brake dust. I'm not seeing any on my wheels but I am getting a very fine dust/dirt that seems to stick to the car about half way down the side of the car. There is a ton of static electricity in the dry air around my parts right now that might be causing it. Just a thought.
I'm a bit surprised Lexus hasn't come out with a body molded color of the car splash guard for these cars. I have just 600 miles on my car and it looks like the rocker panels could take it hard.

Just the fronts, ive had them for a few months now and cant tell which front or back has more brake dust. Braking feels the same for daily use but i dont track and prolly never will cant give you a compare there

However I did notice autozone offers these as well: http://www.autozone.com/brakes-and-t...87_16108_1196/
I dont need brake pads anytime soon, but Is there any real benefit to the TRW Premium pads that justify price? I'm a noob to performance vehicles coming from my 2003 tacoma lol

TRW is well known for quality parts, however I would not pay 3x the price for them. I have installed the D L golds on at least 6-8 Corvettes & Acuras (those guys love their chrome wheels). They work & they last almost forever.
