Track Day Brake Pads
I've been trying to find any replacement brake pads for my 2016 Mustang Ecoobost Performance Pack, and I can not find anything.
Not just for my model, but for any 2015 and above mustang.
Any one had any luck with brake pads, or recommend a good track day brake pad, and more importantly where to get it?

The stock Bimbo pads aren't too bad on track. However, I've not purchased a new set yet (need to).
I'd recommend you look in to upgrading the brake lines and getting better break fluid if you're doing full sessions on track. We occasionally have people discover that street car brakes fail after multiple on track sessions on hot days. We've gotten very good about having people take a drive up and down the road to cool they brakes off after their session. Nothing like seeing somebody run off the track b/c they have no brakes.

Probably be a while before they hit the market. They are all still so new that no one is really modifying yet to protect the warranty and no one really has enough miles to need new ones from normal wear. That's the downside of buying in early on most new platforms. Not enough people to sell to yet to justify cost of R&D in the aftermarket.

I will definitely be changing my break fluid before going on track again, but I'm exploring other brake modifications I can do. At my level it was really the only thing that I felt the car needs help with, and most people at the event recommended also switching the pads to track pads (only for the track days, not everyday use).
