I purchased my car in the mid-1990's, and it came with Wilwood brakes. The supplied pads were definitely for racing, which I didn't know. In fact, I really knew nothing about pads back then.

Those pads had a very high metallic content and were also very dusty. I didn't drive the car a lot during that first year, and parked the car over the winter with some brake dust still on my Trigo aluminum wheels. When I took the cover off the car about 5 months later, electrolysis from the iron particles laying on the alloy, had pitted the wheels terribly.

Those pads went in the trash.
