i recently got an '08 rs4. how can you guys stand the brake dust? i thought my vette was bad. the wheels are pretty nasty within 100 mi after washing, and they are very difficult to clean. i read here that the calipers are brembo GT8, is that correct for '08? any pad recommendations?

somebody should figure this out cause they do suck to clean

mintex 'red box' pads make less dust...not sure if they're available for these calipers, though.

i did find these http://www.zeckhausen.com/Brembo/GT8_Pads.htm
(the semi-metallic ones) but not sure if they will fit the RS4.

I'm using Carbotech Bobcat. Signifigantly lest dust. They feel very similar to stock to me..

p21s wheel cleaner and a sponge, three minutes each tire.

because after cleaning 1 wheel, you're just smearing around the dirt on the next wheel if you use the same sponge/towel....at least I find that to be the case.

I rinse sponge and use 2 towels.

Very low dusting ceramic compound pad.
Relative quiet and a great street performance pad.
Does require overriding the wear sensors.
