I had the same problem with my c8 z51, I switched to the Carbotech 1521 pads and they solved the problem. Would definitely recommend
I had an issue with severe brake dust from the OEM pads on my Z06 Corvette. I replaced the pads with Carbotech 1521s and the dust was eliminated. Made a huge difference with keeping the wheels clean and the pads preformed better.
Love my Raybestos ST43 on my Corvette for the track with 200 series tires. They can be a bit annoying on the street.
NO MORE BRAKE DUST! No squeaking or squealing, they actually seem to stop better.
I have touch of squealing when I first leave my driveway in the morning. I have about 20 miles in them so far (changed last week). Performance is great no complaints.
Dust is gone.
I have hawk dtc-60. They are cheaper than most race pads, but not super long lasting. No problems with them on the street. They dust like crazy though and the you don't want to leave the dust on wheels you care about. Make sure you wash the wheels when you get home from track.
I was on the hunt for a facelift LT1 car and specifically went after a 95 for the stock bigger brakes and a few other things. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
Consider Carbotech pads. I ran XP12/XP10 combo. They worked well on my C5. I tried the Hawk DTC70/60 combo and didn't like how fast they could eat a rotor. The stopping force on them is incredible.
I've got AP Racing brakes all around on my C7, running Ferodo DSUNO pads. While they perform great on track, they squeal HORRIBLY, no matter what temps they're at. While I can chalk that up as a characteristic of this compound, I've ran their DS3.12 on my other car and they only squealed mildly on the street. What concerns me is when driving at slow speeds, I can still hear a faint squeaking when off the brakes as well. When I spin the wheels in the air. I can feel the drag a bit as well.
Initially had a "tinny" sound PLUS a rubbing sound on the fronts that coincides with the wheel rotation PLUS a bit of squeel when stopping when cold. The sounds are still therre. It's very noticeable at low speeds (below 10MPH). Brake dust is very minimal.
