What Brake Pads Are You Using?
I've got Wilwood calipers and pads installed on the front of my '81.
They put out way too much brake dust. I'm thinking of using Hawk Ceramic brake pads.
I'm curious what brand and pad type are you street guys using?

For a high quality low dust performance street pad take a look at the Carbotech 1521 brake pads.100% non-corrosive dust will not harm your wheels, paint or rotors. Carbotech brake pads are 100% made in the USA. Call me at 216-780-8825. I have all Wilwood pad shapes in stock.
The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

I use Hawk ceramics on my 69 and C6Z. Not really "performance" pads but they work and you don't have to wipe your wheels down after traveling 2 blocks. The bit of dust they do produce is very light in color and isn't really noticeable like regular pads. They work for me.
