I always feel a sense that I have been driving well when I get out of my car and see my front wheels are black
hahaha, so true. I have this favorite drive I like to make, lot of twisties and hard braking. I hate to make this run right after I wash my car because it gets the wheels, especially the front ones, so dirty. I prefer to make this run before I wash the car.

i always like to take my car for a short spin right after i clean the car.....
this one time...i was coming up on a roundbout. and only one car in front of me...i kept praying for the car infront to move and i dont have to brake....but no use it wasnt moving...i had to brake...i didnt want to hit it too hard, so not to get them dusty, and maybe the car will move...but no use...and i almost hit the car infront, when i had to push them hard in the last second....eheheh

Get rid of OEM pads, there are many BETTER than OEM pads that are less dusty or completely dust-free. Pagid, Mintex, Axxis, the list goes on...

Front brake do about 80% of the stopping on most any car. This is also explains why your rotors are larger on the front and not the rear. This also explains why cheap cars in the US still use drum brakes on the rear.
