Need advice on Unique brakes

My Unique Motorcars cobra was built from a deluxe pallet kit in 2008. 15 inch wheels. Firestone Indy 500 tires. Wilwood 3/4 master cylinders. Wildwood front calipers. Jag inboard discs in rear. 50/50 bias. My concern is the brakes are not strong enough to lock a wheel. I do not feel comfortable with the speed of the car and the brake performance. Are the front pads a "racing" type material that works best when hot? BTW they leave a brown rusty color residue on the inside of the wheel. Will a different pad be better suited for street driving? Anyone with the same experience?
