Not really what I did to my car today, more of a what I have done to it since I got it.
Domed Numbers Shelby letters
Anchor Room coil cover decals
ZL1 rock guards
ZL1 jacking tabs
Steeda track brace
Redline hood struts
JLT passenger side oil separator
Steeda clutch spring
CJPP shifter ball
JLT strut tower caps
Automotive Authority spare tire (deal in the classifieds)
Custom side stripe (tribute to my 2011 GT500 that was replaced with the 350)

Have Ford Performance springs to install, want new brake pads to reduce dust and when I can figure out what I want, new wheels.
Sharp car for sure!

I had good luck with G-Loc's GS-1 pad. Virtually no dust or noise. Wouldn't track them, though.

I really like the performance of my stock R pads... how much do you sacrifice with something like the G-Loc's?

Depends on the compound. For street use, the GS-1 are more than adequate. For track use, they overheat fairly quickly. Something like the R16s will out perform the OEM pads with better initial bite and resistance to fade. IF you're looking for a better performing track pad, the Raybestos ST43s are a better choice. Much better life than the G-Locs with the same level of performance.

Nice! What pads did you use? I'm getting ready for NJMP this Sunday. APR wing set to 0 degrees to start.

Replaced front rotors and pads as well as rear pads. The Caliperfexion kit made front pads a snap!

Yeah with Petstang! Lighting NJMP here we go. Watching YouTube videos hehe.

I also got Ferodo DSUNO on front. G-LOC R12 on rear. So far I like the DSUNO the best. I had G-Loc R18 in the front but were done after 2.5 track days! :thumbsdown:

I got to play around a bit at Road Atlanta and found 5* pretty good. Back end was a bit float-ey at 0* at speed. 5 was better everywhere - more corner grip, but not enough drag to ruin my straightway speed. Still hit over 147 on the back straight (up from 145 with the R spoiler).

Thanks HB! Do those raybestos or any of those other track pads also dust as bad as the stock ones?

I’ve never seen a pad that’s less dusty and than OEM and track ready. The raybestos pads dust a bit more than OEM unfortunately. Worth the performance and life, tho.
