Default Wanted to say Hi and I have my first question/ topic

Hi everyone, I have a 2001 GT that I love and I wanted to say hi, tell everyone that I tried the sequential/ alternating tail light mod that worked great and is a wonderful free modification so thanks to everyone that showed how to accomplish it. But my first question or topic to discuss is I notice there are a lot of people on here that have aftermarket rims or for the most part it appears everyone respects their wheels, but how does everyone deal with the break dust. I had a 99 SE before my GT and I installed ceramic brake pads on it that did nothing to solve the problem and now I find myself constantly cleaning off my wheels and if anyone is like me I can't just clean the wheels, I have to wash the entire car. Anyway I guess I'm asking if anyone had any good luck as far as pads are concerned with handling or reducing the break dust?

Thanks and I look forward to talking with everyone.

I live in Troy IL but I grew up in O'Fallon a town over or so. In a nut shell I am on the Illinois side of St. Louis.

Oh, I'll post a picture or two on the main forum page in a couple of minutes even though the car is almost completely stock but I thought it would be nice to show everyone what the new guy drives..

Welcome to the site.

Get Wagner brand pads, they seem to work fairly decent.

Thanks for the tip, I noticed on the brake forum page that someone installed cross and drilled roters with posiquiet pads and they look great and I'm sure they improve breaking by a bunch but he didn't say anything about the brake dust and if they reduced it or not. I know its stupid asking that because I'm sure they again out perform by a bunch but I freakin hate the brake dust it looks so crapy when it builds up and I drive on the interstate eveyday and when I brake hard all I can think about is how much build up will this cause?
