Front Brake dust

3GorZ · 07-09-2014, 03:29 PM

Anyone experiences more brake dust on the front wheels than the rear wheels? Is this normal or should I bring back to dealer to check?

Many thanks!

for normal braking yah.. but if you have VDC on and lead foot the car you might have more dust on the rears.

Most of your braking power comes from the front and the front brakes are much larger

I'm not familiar with my350Z. I assume that once 350s depreciated enough it became a haven for teens and 20-somethings who know **** about cars?

I just use basic wheel cleaner and a hose, but I never let it build up... I'm kind of OCD about my vehicles that way.

Yes. Essentially the whole forum is, yo dawg, looks at my wheelz, then a bunch of morons giving each other crap advice or bashing/trolling just to bash/troll
