insane brake dust

[lexietech]

FYI ,im seeing cars with only 200 miles on the 350s and the front wheels dirty as can be with brake dust....the 350 pads are soooo soft and sticky that about 10000 miles for brake life will be normal

and those that are mad that the traction control turns back on at 25mph .there is a trick when starting the car to turn off the VDIM at all speeds,but it kinds makes it easy to burn up the rear tires.

I don't care about money.

[lexietech]

k fine....but you better think of me each time you drift the car at 60 mph and if you slam think of someone else.....but i want tons of +rep.....

Seriously, what the hell, if you know the answer to something people are DYING to know, why wouldnt you tell? I think people understand that they will be able to burn out their tires easily. And also, the 255s are not that much more expensive than other tires.

EDIT: Lay it on us.

You're real close to a gray rep box right now.

<3 the pads on the IS300 from the factory, they never dusted. Maybe Lexus went the cheaper route with the brakes this time around?

I switched from those to Axxis Ultimates and my rims are black after maybe 500 miles of driving. Sucks :\
