Brake Pads S550s

Been having a hard time finding pads for track use. Would like to have an extra set w/ me when I go to the track. Can't find any listings for 2015-2016's on Hawk, Porterfield, Raybestos ??

Wondering if anyone has found success.

Haven't had the car at a track yet, but can't imagine the stock pads being but so good? Any input?
 
Do you have the 15" Brembos? If so aren't they the same as the 2013/2014 GT500?
 
Performance pack w 6 piston Brembos 15"

Didn't know it was the same as the newer GT500's?

My GT500 is an '07.

I'll look.



Looking at Carbotec, they do show listings. Problem is many compounds, I would need to call them also.

Pretty sure the 2015-2016 GT with the Perf. Pack does not have the same brake pads as any past Mustang. We have updated our Carbotech listings for the new cars. We are also looking for someone to donate their rear pads for the cars. We can get you some free rear pads to anyone who donates their rear cores.

Thanks! Nick

Is Carbotech the only aftermarket you carry for front pads? On the Carbotech site they list like 7-8 types of pads. I'm looking for something for running road courses, but doesnt destroy my rotors in a couple hard days. 2015 GT w Performance pack.

And you can have my stock old rear pads, what would you replace them with?

We carry a lot of brake pads, Carbotech is usually just faster to the punch of making new pads than any other manufacturer in the market. There's lots of reasons why that is but I won't get into how wonderful of a company they are.

Depending on your tires and experience, anything from an XP8 to XP12 will do just fine. Call me on Monday and I would love to talk to you and learn more about your experience level and car! 919 420 0021

You mentioned XP20's to me on the phone the other day, will you have those coming also? How about XP24's?
