They are brakes, and are going to create particles. If they were drum brakes they would still create dust, but contain and deflect more of it inward. You are stopping a probably 4,500 lb. vehicle (empty) and not a 2,300 pound Kia, so more particles are going to be created.

I know disc brakes make dust. The point is they are making way more brake dust than before. I used adaptive one brakes on my old truck, and never had this issue. The point is the dust is excessive. I've had 15 different cars and never had this problem with my wheels pretty much turning black in 24 hours. Curious if the caliper pins are getting hung up.
