What are the best stopping front pads for street?

I think some metallic pads would shorten your stopping distances, but they will eat up rotors. Some stock styl semi-metallics are ok.

I use the Ford racing HD front pads - about $45. Excellent stopping ability with my otherwise stock brake syatem.
There are other choices (probably just as good) but the Ford HD pads work well for me.

I have used Performance Friction Z pads on my 94 Cobra for years. I have been to quite a few track sessions at Sebring and Moroso in Florida and the brakes worked great. Recently I tried stock Ford pads to save same money and because I wasn't planning any track events. There was a big difference. The stock brakes require twice the effort to stop.

I have now found the Z pads from Autozone for about $60 for fronts.

if you get good pads, get rotors that are twice as strong! factory rotors blow the ole kidney cracker!
