So my ecoboot's brakes shed this brownish dust that gets all over the wheels and even stains up the tires. It comes off if I hit it with decent quality wheel cleaner but it comes right back. These OEM pads shed dust faster than you would believe possible.

Does anyone have any recommendations for low dust pads and is it a service that's easy to do yourself? Do you have to reset anything in the computer after you change them out?

I've done pads and rotors before, bled out brakes, etc., but am concerned about potential roadblocks with the computer in the mav.

I only have about 2500 miles on mine, but have not noticed much brake dust at all so far ;)
Same on mine. I actually expected to have a lot more scrubbing to do on my wheels.

I go a week between washes and they are coated again.

I don't have my Eco any more, but at about 8000 miles when I traded it, I never saw any excess brake dust on it.
