Default brake pad recommendation
I'll be running rear disk brakes from a 95 Z/28 on my 68 shortbed pickup. I need to get new pads. I want something that gives good braking performance with little to no dusting.

Any recommendations?

Hawk HPS pads haven't produced much brake dust for me, and they work great.

Posi quiet ceramic! Check on ebay. I think brake labs is the company.

Hawk HPS is the only way to go. Switching to drilled & slotted rotors and HPS pads made for a big improvement in my WS6s braking.
