I have the stock FFR complete kit brakes and I'm not really happy with the pedal effort. What are the softest pads available for my calipers?

There are other brands but my experience is w/ Hawk. The HPS have better grip than the Napa pads that were in my car when I bought it. The HP+ have even better grip but they do dust more.

Anyone have a part number(s) for HP+ pads? Like I said, I have the complete kit brakes, so front and rear may come from different models or model years.

Sorry I don't know what calipers are on your car. You can order pads thru Summit and you can do lookup either there or here

One thing to note on rear Mustang calipers is that GT and Cobra calipers are the same but the rotors are different diameter and thickness. The added thickness of the cobra rotor is accomidated by thinner pads.
HB183N.585 number for the cobra where the 585 is the material thickness in thousandths of an inch.HB183N.660 is the GT pad. HTH
