I'm at the point where I'm installing the front brake calipers and I would like to drop in some upgraded pads over what came in the kit. I have the standard FFR brakes, not the Wilwoods. Does anyone have handy the part number for the pads they upgraded to, and what manufacturer did you use? Thanks!

I wasn’t real happy with the stock pads and ended up switching to the Hawk HPS pads. Mike Forte hooked me up with the correct ones.
Good luck

Hawk Performance HB183N.585 HP Plus Brake Pad & Hawk Performance HB274N.610 HP Plus Brake Pad A bit more aggressive then the HPS.
I have the hps as well. They stop the car and don’t create too much dust. Only pads I’ve had on it so can’t give you a comparison with something else

Had both S & +. + makes more dust but stops better. ArmorAll "Outlast" sprayed on clean wheels lets you wipe them off with a clean rag or shop towel. Zero work.
