I just bought a 2005 Focus ST and am totally pleased with it, but have one question. Is it normal to have the pads or rotors shed unusual amounts of dust from all four brakes during the first couple of hundred miles on the car? Forms a thick layer of dust on wheel spokes, wheel rims, and fenders trailing the wheels. I presume this is from pads and rotors smoothing-off the rough machined surfaces, before they mate properly?
