You know, I don't get it with this brake dust business. Many posters talk about too much brake dust with their OEM pads (I think). I am at 43k, am on the first set of pads with plenty of pad left, and experience little to no brake dust. I must admit that I am the type of driver that actually doesn't use the brakes all that much because of the way I drive, but even when I go to the track and use the brakes a lot and hard I don't see that much brake dust.

What gives?
