ceramic coat the wheels. doesn't prevent performance brakes from doing what they do, producing dust and stopping the car, but you can just spay them off.

Mine is a July ‘17 build. The brake dust accumulation after only a few drives is pretty bad, and it’s a fugly brown color which is quite noticeable on black. Armor all brake dust repellent works really well, but it doesn’t last in wet weather unfortunately.

I don’t see anything wrong with using low dust pads on what is primarily a street car. The GT350’s brakes are so large/powerful that a moderate reduction in brake power is likely not an issue. For track driving, just switch them out. Unless you’re tracking the car every weekend, what’s the big deal?

I have G LOC gs1 pads. I've had them on my car for about 3000 Miles and the brake dust is nothing compared to the standard pads. If the stock pad brake dust level is a 10 out of 10 the G lock brake dust is about a 3. There is a fine coating of brake dust but not that caked on mess you get with the stock pads. I noticed no differences in the street performance of the brakes. So far it has been my favorite upgrade to the car. It makes it so much easier to keep it clean.

I brought my brake pads from Optimum performance.

Did you swap out all 4 pads or just the fronts?

I did front and rear. Would prefer to have the same pad all the way around.
