brake pads?
 

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.

Check out Kevlar Pads. Stop on a dime with change. WWW.greatbrakes.com.

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!
