Best rear pads for PP car, DD, some track time

[TrackpackGT]

Looking to replace the OEM pad if there is something that won't start squeaking like a freak in 9k miles and still perform well. I have brand new Ford OEM rotors as well. I daily drive it, might do two or three HDPE events this year if I'm lucky. Thanks for any help.

Balance between front and rear is important. Just the rears? What are you using up front? Stock PP's?

Yes, I'm fine with the stock Brembos up front. Just want a better pad for the rear that wont squeak almost every stop.

Nothing fancy about your rear pads, then - they are the same as any other modern-era GT. You're looking for a basic stock replacement.

A quick question first - are you using backing plates and anti-squeal spray or lube? If no to either, that's worth a try.

Otherwise, Hawk HPS is worth a try - they tend to dust less and stay quieter. But I'd recommend backing plates and high-temp lube and CDC Anti-Squeal Spray in any case for DD. Just expect all that to burn off on track days :frusty:

I don't think the tech bedded my new brakes nor use BG on them. It squeaks worse now than when I dropped it off. The pad pattern on the rotor doesn't appear seated well. Time for some brake break in.....
