Default Brake pads??

Still looking for ceramic pads for my 86. Can't seem to find them. Checked Napa, autozone, GM. I wonder if they are just not available for my car. I want to get rid of the brake dust. Any help???? :cheers:

Meanwhile, finish up your wheels with Maguire's Gold Class wax. Then a presssure hose just washes off the brake dust.

I just (3000 miles ago) Took off the carbon metalics because they were too dusty and went to the Ceramics from NAPA...GUESS WHAT?

Just a different color dust :smash:

Car and wheels get just as dirty except it's light gray, not black!

Not sure I would switch again. They stop almost as well as the Carbon, but I might put the Carbon back on
