Over Abundance of Brake Dust?

sdc · 03-25-2006, 11:38 PM

Anyone else noticing how quick our rims are getting covered in brake dust? I'm not terribly concerned, but I just noticed that this morning and I'm wondering if it's not just my imagination or me over-reacting.

I just love driving my new Civic.

Not worried about the mileage cuz it's a Honda. Im good for at least 300k.

I've got nearly 11k. Of course, I got it just a couple of days after the new Civics came out. Like Silver8th said, it's a Honda. I have no worries.

I haven't noticed it too much. The Saturn LS2 I traded in for my Civic was horrible. My wheels would be grubby within days.
