    Anyone with EBC brake pads notice a lot of brake dust?

    I seem to have a fair amount of brake dust from my EBC yellow pads since having them redone about 3 weeks ago with all new calipers and pads. It seems my glossy black wheel covers quickly turn to a dust covered matte black and when I clean them the rag is black. I might just now be noticing it more since putting on the black wheel covers.

    Why did you need all new calipers on a 2019?

    Not much dust here, but I try to minimize the brake usage by paying attention and planning ahead a bit. Try to arrive at traffic lights on the green, try to keep plenty of distance in front during heavy traffic, try to arrive at stop signs at the sign, not at number 8 in line, etc. Much better for you and many parts of the truck.
