Brake Dust.... EVERYWHERE!

Pelican170 · 10-12-2010, 03:38 PM

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to see if you guys have the same issue or maybe its more of a Nismo issue since it has the slits in the rear bumper. Anyway, everytime I drive it, i just seem to get sooo much brake dust on the back of it. Could also be because its white but really, ive never seen so much from a car ever. Just wanted to see if others had this issue as well...

you sure it's brake dust and not carbon deposits from the exhaust?

these brakes do make a bit of bust, but then again, they aren't your grandmas corollas brakes.

I am sure those are not brake dusts,those are dusts of the roads.!

its possible I suppose, but i do notice more of it on the slots on the rear bumper, assumed it was brake dust.

To be honest im not sure. Everything is stock so if it comes with Nismo brake pads, then thats what i have. I washed it yesterday, and its definately brake dust and seems to just be pouring out of the slits in the back bumper.
