hawk brake pads abnormal brake dust?
many of you know that i've been having a lot of problems with my hawk pads squeeking.. but i noticed something else new today.. my front drivers side rim gets a **** load of brake dust.. it only takes a few stops for it to gather up.. what would have took my oem's about a week to do.... and it only seems to be that side.. my passenger side has little to none.. anyone know what this could mean?
I had the same issue on my first set of HPS pads when I used them on a well worn set of rotors. I didn't turn the rotors when I installed the pads based on some advice from a "friend" and had the same type issue. Where your rotors new when you installed the pads? Did you have them turned before you installed? Some squeaking and a lot of brake dust build up on the rims almost like a dusty deposit of ash from a fire. Anyhow when I got my new rotors and new pads the problem went away. I am not using HPS on the fronts anymore, I switched to AXISS based on stoptech's advice, but brake dust is no longer a problem on the front or rears.
