my sport brake pads make an absolute mess... i've only had the car 7 days and have had to clean off a heavy coating of brake dust twice on all 4 rims. I've only used 1 tank of gas.

I came looking for a thread about this to see if other people were complaining. If this keeps up, I guess I'll need ceramic for my driving style...

since posting, I have almost 700 miles and find them quite dustless.

Ditto - very little dust with mine and I don't baby them either.... I do wash the rims every week though. I've got just over 3000 miles on mine.
