I love how everyone says "live with it" on the brake dust...answer is simple: change to kevlar/ceramic pads. Easy to do (I did all 4 wheels on my GT3 in ~an hour). Many brands out there; I used Carbotech Bobcat and I would estimate dust is reduced by ~75-80%. Hope this helps.

No..I dont track my car so cant comment to that (and note that the Carbotech Bobcats are a STREET pad..they do have several track pads). No noise at all and rotors look great, pedal feel and modulation is terrifc. I have these on my Turbo as well (with 10k + miles) and rotors look as new. There are several good articles online re: this pad material/compound and affect on rotor wear. Carbotech has a good explanation on their site as well. BTW, no affiliation with Carbotech (in fact I'm still waiting for them to produce a Bobcat pad to fit the wifes '11 Cayenne...that car has the WORST brake dust I've ever seen).

Bill I've heard that Hawk has a pad for the Cayenne that dramtically cuts the dust down. I read about it over on the Cayenne forum on Rennlist.
