What options are there for brake pads aside from G-LOC?

Im sure the Mustang shares calipers with some other car

Pagid has brake pads for our application. Expensive though.

Front: Same as Ferrari Enzo, F430, 360 Challenge Stradale, AMG GTS
Rear: Same as C7 Base and Z51 Stingray, Mustang GT w/perf pkg

Mustang GT with pp uses a sliding rear caliper.

The pad is totally different.


As far as the others go, they may fit but the depth may be different meaning that they may not sweep the entire rotor surface causing un even wear

Then I guess Pagid has them listed wrong on their website with the GT350 and Mustang GT rear pad.

Other than dust, what's wrong with the stock pads? I have run Willow Springs twice and have had no issues. Granted, I'm no Mark Donohue.

Any good capable track pad will have heavy dust. The OEM pads are great and fine for most. They do wear fast and with intermediate driving skills or better you will be looking for longer life pads and better initial bite. Particularly if you are running sticky tires like PSC2 or better. Certain tracks can be harder on brakes as well leaving one to look for better pads as well. My .02 I am running OEM for the street and G-LOC or Pagid pads for the track.

Well I am checking options I will probably get pads and swap them at the track. Gloc seems to have a street pad that is low dust but they dont recommend it for the street.

Additional my new wheel will have polished lips so if i can get away from the dust I will.

I also trying to drive down my consumable cost where possible.

I have been really happy with the stock pads. I can't believe how well they work on the street yet don't fade at the track. Their cost is reasonable too.

I just called Porterfield this week to see if they have a backing plate made for the 350 yet. They said they do, and I confirmed with them it is for the 15.5 inch "Shelby" rotor. I did not ask about rears, but I figure they will have those too.

I am going to get some Raybestos ST43s. They quoted me $399 for the fronts. You can also get pads from Porterfield through Van at Revan Racing. I have run many different track pads and these have been the best all around pad for me. Real good bite, amazing longevity, easier than most on rotors, good cold bite, and not all that noisy when cold. I don't daily drive my car and have run these on the street a bit without issue.

My car will be going in the shop for track prep in early March. I will report back in the spring on how my track setup is working out....stay tuned.
