Probably posted already, but there could be hope for future options that result in less brake dust.

So it's the Porsche Surface Coated Brake for the aftermarket? They're certainly a lot cheaper than carbon ceramics.

I'm also unsure of how much less dust gets gets created and if a different brake pad compound gets used. Edit: Quote:

I think 30% longer life and 90% less brake dust would be worth the price of admission. Quote:

The Porsche option is about half the cost of ceramic and they use a white caliper to denote and promote how well it works. My guess is at some point the environmental concern of brake dust and rubber particles will start to get attention and solutions that reduce or eliminate these contaminants will get legislated. Side benefit is clean wheels!
