A4 Brake dust

[dan_masi@MENTORG.COM (Dan Masi)]

As a newcomer to Audi, I was shocked to find that
after less than a week of A4Q ownership, and mostly
highway driving, my front wheels are looking pretty
darned black.  I've never had a car that produces
this much brake dust!

Is this an Audi trait?  I'm sure I'll see less of
it ones the pads get some more miles on them, but
even so, it's an awful lotta dust.  When the time comes,
what third-party pads do Audi fans like?
