4.8 Brake advice please....

Had the X a few weeks now and the brake dust is getting to me.

With the 3.0 I used some pads from EBD? that have eliminated the dust from the front but no change to the rear. They don't make pads for the 4.8.

Can you guys with 4.8's tell me what you are using to reduce the brake dust??

I have started looking at following some of your paths down the Brembo route, but as we have no one in town that knows Brembo's (other than on a race car) I am not comfortable specifying equipment through a back yard operator.

Any assistance would be most appreciated.


Cheers

I just keep my wheels well waxed and the brake dust washes off easily.

I third that! Pads I've tried on other vehicles that allegedly reduce dust tended to squeak.

What wax do you recommend on the wheels and how often do you need to wax them after washes.
