Brake Dust, Ceramic Pads?
Hi,
UK based M5 owner. Had my car almost a year but new to the forum. Few details on the car: 2012 Imperial Blue Individual Spec Dakota Grey Leather 20" Satin Black M6 343M wheels Stage 2 Evolve Remap Catless Downpipes Resonator Delete RAMAIR filters JL Audio Sub & Amp Maxton Design Front Lip and Side Skirt Extensions Ok so I love my car, but HATE the brake dust! Every time I've cleaned the wheels, the front wheels are covered in brake dust even after the first drive. It's incredibly frustrating, so I've done some looking around and it seems as if people who have switched out to ceramic pads have had some success with reducing the brake dust problem. I've been looking at the CoolCarbon pads that ECStuning offer, however, I'm unsure whether they will fit a UK spec car? I've emailed ECS Tuning and they haven't been able to give me a definite answer. Anyone on here who knows whether or not they will fit my car even if they are from the US? I can't imagine there being an issue but I thought it would be better to check before hand.. Here's a video of my car done by my good friend Ricky from LivingLifeFast (before the tune): Thanks in advance. Gurpal |

Not sure if they fit a UK Spec car but I can confirm they reduce dust greatly with no noticeable decrease in stopping power.

you can install Modesta BC-09 ceramic wheel coating to your wheels, this will make you wheels very easy to clean as dust wont stick to it
