it's brittle and hollow, like wood shavings except it's sitting along the top and the sides of the brake pads.
GREAT brakes, I installed them back in Oct 2016, they lasted less than 8k miles on it.
I was also driving the **** out of my car, hard on the brakes, I just wore them out apparently.

What do you mean they didn't last? That edge is just from how the pad sits on the rotor, the pad isn't junk and it looks not terribly worn, though the angle is bad. Just looking at the groove.
There are other pads we can try. On my Camaro with the kit I run using a Wilwood caliper on the street I run Yellows, but on the track I run Raybestos ST43. I have been using EBC BlueStuff on my Corvette most of this year.
We have options

they lasted 7k miles and that's cuz I basically wore them out. I was just surprised at how they didn't last long AND, I wasn't driving responsibly. Never said they were junk either, they're the best stopping pads I've ever put on my car AND, I abused the **** outta them.
I tripped seeing that stuff though, never seen any other pad do this.
I figure I'm gonna stick with the yellows, their performance is unequaled.

Im running Yellow stuff, and whilst they are a dirty pad in my opinion (can clean the wheels and go for a 10 mile drive and theres dust all over them again), they stop the car the best out of all I have tried out. I have noticed the same effect when changing my pads - the black flecks of material.

But Camaro pads do. So do C5's, and C6's.
