Default Front brakes

I have a 1995 Ford Mustang Gt I just bought 3 months ago. I need to replace the front brakes, but the previous owner has replaced the front brake calipers with the red pony calipers.
I would like to know if anyone knows if I can still use stock brake pads? Or for which make and model do I need to request the pads for? I only have one car right now so I really don't want to buy the wrong pads and have no way to get back to the store. Thanks in advance if anyone can offer advice.

I have seen the calipers for sale on Ebay listed as upgraded calipers for mustangs. I will try to get pictures soon. I just thought people would be familiar with them. They are not attached with caliper bolt pins, they seem to have like a spring tension retainer.

I just looked them up on Ebay and their description for the calipers is as follows, Bullit racing calipers. When I clicked on the picture for shipping description,it reads Ford Mustang 2001 Bullit calipers. Does this sound correct?

I just looked up replacement pads for 2001Ford Mustang Bullit and the pads look like the ones on the front of my car. Just thought I would let everyone know.

sounds like you have a 13" cobra front brake conversion.

buy pads for a cobra, or bullitt and you will be ok.

I haven't taken the wheels off, or taken the brakes apart yet. Like I said there are pictures on Ebay litsed under brake calipers for 95 Mustang Gt.
