I have a 2016 GT with performance pack brembos.

Lots of noise and dust.

Anyone can recommend a replacement pad?

I have been trying to find a good thread on a solid pad replacement for these brakes. Trying to find something for a daily driver with a bite equal to oem or better of course and less dust. Reviews on websites are all over the place.

I agree with the Z26's as posted above. Used them on other cars with good results, and will put them on the Mustang when it is time.

My stock brakes still work good. It's just that squeal under light breaking that's annoying.

I'm pulling mine off next week to put some stop squeal on the pads. Did you try that and still have that sound?

They really suck at stopping but are great at not dusting. I hate them but put them back on because they do not dust.

If you get some heat in them they work better, like track heat. Do 5 60 to 10 MPH hard stops and they will bite. Still not near as good as stock, but they do not dust. Are easy on rotors too, so if you, like me, have 600 dollar rings.....

late to the party on this one, have you tried Perfotmance friction Z rated pads, low dust, no noise in Brembo profile......worth looking into!.

I've run the Performance Friction Z-Rated pads in every one of my cars I can get them for. Good up to light track duty. Best reason, though, is if you're running Performance Friction track pads. Then you can change between the two compounds without issues. Nobody makes better track compounds.

I was curious about them but really cant find where to buy them for a mustang lol. I ended up buying the powerstop pads. They were on amazon and easy to get.

Where do you purchase friction pads at?
