Looking for pads. No noise what so ever and especially low on brake dust.
Any suggestions? Rotors right now installed are drilled and slotted.

Check with KNS Brakes, they are a vendor.

Compound Data Sheet Use & Caution:
Medium friction, smooth engagement, low abrasion on iron rotors.
Flat torque curve.
Low to medium wear rate, increases as temperature increases.
Street Use OK
Application:
High performance street / strip, drag race, and track day categories using vented iron rotors.
Light to medium braking on dirt tracks including late models, modifieds, sportsman, and street stocks.
Disc brake conversions on street rods and muscle cars.
Characteristics:
Compatible with all types of steel or iron rotors.
High performance street compound with improved friction, longer wear and lower dust levels than standard replacement pads.
Beds quickly and provides fast response without high rotor abrasion.

BP-10 Compound Temperature Range & Torque Values (http://www.wilwood.com/Images/BrakePads/compound_chart-2.jpg)
Temperature range and overall friction value are the primary considerations for pad selection. The pads must be capable of maintaining the proper amount of friction for stopping power within the temperatures that will be realized on the track during the event. Then, overall wear rate must be considered. For most asphalt and road race applications, compounds in the high temperature ranges over 1000°F range are usually necessary. Dirt track, drag race, and street performance applications usually operate at temperatures between 500° and 1000°F. Keep in mind that these are general ranges, and not absolute values. Many factors and unforeseen influences can affect brake temperatures. The best indicator for pad selection will always be on track performance. If pad fade (friction loss) due to overheating occurs, then improved cooling, a heavier rotor, or a higher temperature range pad may all become necessary.

Hawk.......Hawk pads I have on the SB dust up like the Oklahoma Dust Bowl and are the squeakiest pads I have ever owned. I bought a set of Wagner Quiet somethinger other to replace them. Not enough time with the Wagner's to form an opinion yet.

Hawks on all our corners for me. Minimal dust and have not heard them squeak .... And yes it is driven ... Ummm, hard

Hawks are good and if you ever do the Zack 14 " upgrade the corvette Hawks are a better quaility than the ones for a marauder

Check Brake Motive I buy from them Rotors and pads for front and rear with a good price
here's an Ebay LINK (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Rear-DRILLED-SLOTTED-BRAKE-ROTORS-AND-8-CERAMIC-PADS-Crown-Vic-Marquis-/290972959438?hash=item43bf5702 ce)
