Brake pads- too much dust- need some current choices - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Corvette95 · 03-05-2021

The pads and rotors were upgraded on my 90. I do HPDE days with the car and I drive when I "drive" it, so I went with PowerStop track day pads (Ceramic / metallic hybrid ) with my upgraded drilled and slotted rotors. The pads work great and I am very happy with the cold and hot performance...problem...I have NEVER had so much brake dust as I have with these pads. I am not exaggerating, with each car wash, the rims come off to clean the inside of the wheels and calipers and suspension (yeah, I baby my monster too). So I am going to go with a different front pad but I need one that will withstand a weekend at the track with heavy use and will be adequate on the street but needs to have an acceptable amount of brake dust. What recommendation do you have for that combo of use? (running completely rebuilt J55) BTW I did read some old threads.
