Head this over to the Performance Handling section as there are many autoX'ers and track drivers that can give you a great recommendation on what pads to use. Nearly ALL will say the stock rotors are fine, but good pads, upgraded fluid and SS brakes lines make a word of difference. I have done all three

I've heard a lot of people that go with Hawk HP+ pads for good performance.

Are you looking to upgrade to bigger brake calipers and bigger rotors or are you content with the brakes that are on there right now? If you don't have the upgraded brake package from Saleen then you have the brakes that came stock on the Mustang GT's.

I upgraded last year to brembo 13". If you're looking for an inexpensive option to upgrade....get the mach 1 brakes with Hawk pads. PM if you're interested in that route.
