If you plan to track your car, I sell brake air deflector vanes for your car. Lowers rotor temp by about 100F.

This Mustang is a convertible with no plans for a cage. Thanks anyway. btw the Z23 pads were ordered this morning.

Powerstop z26 or z23 are the way to go.

What's the difference between the Z23 and Z26?

Thanks, so same pads just with the shims.

The way I read it was looking at the packaging: the Z23 is more for street, Z26 is an aggressive track pad.

Do you lose any extreme braking performance with the z26 pads? Looking to do some light days and don't want to lose any braking performance but the stock pads dust like a mofo.

I fixed the Z26 link in my post #15. The original link pointed to the pads for 4-pot calipers.

Both Z23 & Z26 are for low-dust street use. You might struggle to get them to survive a full track day, because the heat continues to build. For the street, I prefer Z23 over Z26 because the rubber coating means I don't have to use brake grease to keep them quiet.

You can swap the pads out on PP1/2 brakes without removing the calipers, so there really is no excuse to not swap them back to OEM for a track day. I get 3-4 full track days per set of pads.

true, but I very much doubt the compounds are compat between ferodo and Z2x.

Right, and I also swap to another set of rotors. But for the occasional "light" track day as one member mentioned, I wouldn't worry about using the same rotor.
