Question Brake Dust

Does anyone have a problem with brake dust getting all over the wheels very quickly. I have this problem especially when braking hard it just gets really anoying because the wheels are a b*tch to clean. Any suggestions on how to keep them clean longer or clean them faster would be appreciated. Thanks

This is a really stupid question but why is there more brake dust on a stock Evo brake pad than say a Civic?

Also would the texture of brake dust be a bit greesy? I also get dust on my bumper. Is it also from brake pads or would it be something else?

you are getting soot from the exhaust on your rear bumper. your brakes on the evo are "better" than the civic

I got this problem aswell, the MR's BBS wheels are a PITA to clean all the time. Once the stock pads start crying I'm gonna toss them for some pads with less brake dust and better stopping power.
