Choose Axxis or PBR brake pads... they are alot less dusty than OEM.

One can buy "KleenWheels" - disks with or without small vents that nest

inside the wheel and cover the brake caliper and rotor.

Reasonable drivers have had no problems with them causing brake fade

but, of course, some hot dog drivers here will malign the KleenWheels as

interfering with their brakes` performance.

I`ve used them for years, exactly for the reasons you cite, and never

had a problem - but then I drive reasonably - like most old farts.

I love love love this show… and thanks to Ignite Mag, now I have the ammunition to promote it to my “I only like hip hop and R&B” friends who shy away from the showtunes.

The cast of gLee does Jill Scott!!!
