I am wondering something. Is there anyway to get rid of brake dust. I have white rims and the brake dust is killing me. I seriously have to wash my rims like 4 times a week in order for them to be clean. Is there anything I can do to solve this brake dust issue?[hr]

I've had the same problem, you need to get your rear brakes adjusted. Whats happenning is that the rear brakes aren't making enough contact to the drums, which in turn is causing your front brakes to do the major "load" stopage.
Question? Is your parking brake lever going close to the "top" of the "pull"?
More than 2 or 3 clicks on the parking brake means that the rear brakes are out of adjustment. (If you have a manual Transmission)
Before I adjusted my rear brakes I noticed that if I pulled the Parking Brake Lever up 1 click when I was driving that I had much better braking, the pedal felt higher and I wasn't "nose diving" when I braked.
If you jack up one of your rear wheels and take your hand and spin the wheel and if keeps "spinning" for more than 40 seconds or so you need the rear brakes adjusted.
Let me know.
