mpgainer,
I have suggested to quite a few friends to check out the G-Loc R18s when I see how deep they brake or if folks are going to fast tracks ( like Road Atlanta or Road America ) as they are an " Endurance Pad " and they need more heat build up to work effectively. I drag the brakes quite a bit during the first lap and that seems to really help to jump on the power and binders from then on. I do not recommend them for those that are casual track drivers as those drivers will find a less aggressive pad more to their liking, but for aggressive drivers ( since the newer Mustangs are heavy machines ) it is one pad to view.
One important key is to get the pads pre-bedded and the issue you are noticing could be if you did the bedding yourself. Over the years I found the situation with Carbotech/G-Locs to be frustrating as their bedding process is a huge hassle and hard to accomplish on the street/highway.
Good luck but is sounds like you are on the right track with your set up and do post some track pics of your Mach 1!
