    G-Loc R10F and "stock Ford" is written on the rear. The R10's have lasted about 4 events so far and the rear pads were on the car when I bought it from Wade.

    I am using Carbotech XP12's up front, usually go through 2 sets a season, they are cheapish at $200 a set, XP8's in the back, they last almost 2 years.

    i have ran cobalt XR pads since 2010 and have never looked back. They made a circle track pad that was perfect for the miata for modulation and the XR pads are great for the mustang. AND they don't eat rotors like PFC's do.

    Raybestos 47's in the front of mine. I got a smoking deal a few seasons ago for something like $160/set, so bought six sets. I'll have pads for a while.
    They are a bit "bitey" for a non-ABS application, but Raebestos does make several pads with less initial bite.

    Stock LS1 calipers I only ever ran XP10's on front and generally azone golds on the rear. On the rear I have also run a Carbotech Bobcat or 1821 or 1521? type of compound and right now it has some Hawk HPPPlus.

    43 are real easy to modulate. 47 can be had for under 160 an axle as well. They also make a 41 and 45 compound that I have yet to try. I need something softer out back because I took all the bias out and still get hop if I'm too quick on the brake pedal.

    I do not have a brake bias valve so I use pad selection to get the right front to rear bias. The XR2's in front and 4's in the rear are the best we have tried so far. I really liked the PFC01 then they stopped making it and the PFC11 was the closest thing to the 01. Eric explained to me that there was not enough modulation between nothing to locked up. I think these Cobalt's have more than twice the room (modulation) between nothing and locked. The PFC's if I remember got up to almost $400.00 for a set of fronts. I tried Carbotech's they were at a good price but in my heavy SN99 the 10's and 12's could not get over four or five weekends out of a set.

    XP10s in the front (swapping to G Loc GS-10 which is the exact same thing).

    Parts store ceramics in the rear; I have a bias valve and leave it alone with full pressure going to the back. I only axle hop if I'm too aggressive on downshifts.

    With my ducts I can get through about 2/3-3/4 of season on one pair of fronts and 1.5ish pairs of rear for a full season.

    I had 2015 rears on through 2016's season. For this first event I slapped on my 2014 leftover usable spares. Looks like I'm in the market for rears now, maybe I'll try some street race Hawks out back since I have some bucks? I definitely need softer than a DTC60 equivalent back there.
