Brake Pads

I searched and didn't find the topic, but sorry if it's been discussed!

Brake Pads? Anyone switch brands for less dust? I used to run Hawk HP+ and HPS on my 98 track car and they were cleaner than the factory brakes on the 16. Just curious if anyone has autocrossed/tracked with something other than Ford pads. How was performance and dust?

I'm with you. I searched around and couldn't find any. The pad mfrs sites don't positively state that the pads they suggest actually fit the GT350, just for the current Mustang.

Carbotech should have some ready in a few weeks.

I think the stock pads offer a good compromise between street and track ability. I've already ordered a set of front OEMs. Brake dust is part of life for a high performance, heavy beast like this!

Oh my god yes...I run AX6's on my current car. Wow do they have some authority.

I looked around initially, but couldn't find anything definitive. Carbotech may be a good option depending on the compound.

Stock pads are a good quality compound, and seem to handle heat loading relatively well; at least no one has yet reported any real brake fade or glazing issues.

They are dirty though, and seem to wear like Hawk performance pads (i.e., quickly).

Yeah, I know the trade offs of performance vs vanity, but like I said I had good Hawk pads that were at least less dusty. I'll keep tabs on Carbotech. I was surprised how few options there seemed to even be out there yet for even the Mustang.
