over 60% of your braking is handled by your front brakes. especially since you're wrong wheel drive. front brakes have alot more to slow down and therefore dust more.

ceramic brake pads actually do make less brake dust than regular pads, and they last a lot longer, but you pay the price when you replace them cuz you will probably need new rotors too.

It's like this:

Less Dust<------------------------------------->Performance

The rims on Victum's STi look gunmetal all the time because the pads shed so much dust(plus they squeal to).

Don't get some cheap ass brake pads though. Get good ones.
