due to the compound they use to increase brake efficiency.

One of the other downsides of this is the brake powder on the wheels that people keep whining about.

this is not a joke,
just found out that i need new brakes because when i brake hard i hear loud mechanical noises. mine has only 11kmiles but i when i had a jeep cherokee i replaced the brakes pads and rotors after 15kmiles.. it's still to early.. anyone replaced the brakes yet? if so what was the mileage?
