Just wondering what any of you have experienced this. I've done my own brake jobs, many times, over the years on my cars. It seems to me, that the semi-metallic front pads are the way to go on my '71. The standard "factory style" organic pads don't give as good a pedal feel, even on easy stops, compared to the semi-metallics. We know the semis are better when a lot of braking is done, or for high speed. The semis DO shag off more dust, and tend to wear the rotor more, but I likely will never go back to standard brake pads up front. Not much talk of disc pads on the boards, but many of you must have found the same as I.
I'm not interested in going to any aftermarket brakes, like Willwoods, etc, so don't offer that as an opinion. I like to keep it factory-ish, however, I may add aftermarket braided flex hoses in the future to help firm up the feel.
