M3_Zoom...I realize and fully expect to get WAY less than 50,000 miles out of these brakes. This car does have outstanding brakes and I fully expected them to wear that way. I just wasn't sure how much brake dust was normal, that's all. My G35 with stock Brembo's gave off a TON of dust, and this car is about the same. Just wanted to double check with you folks to make sure I wasn't alone.

The issue with the older Mazda3 was excessive dust on the rear wheels. Seems like Mazda just "shifted the blame".
That being said, I still got 58,000 miles out of my stock rear pads, massive dust cloud and all. Just replaced them with EBC Greens. Front pads are only about half worn.
