The closest you can find to "stock" OEM. You want a high quality STREET
pad. Hawk HPS work very well on my autocross formula ford plus there is a
bonus . . . essentially no dust. They modulate well, work stone cold, and
are the least expensive pad Hawk sells. Don't confuse the HPS with HP Plus,
the Plus pads probably work cold but they were harder to modulate on my FF
and they dust a lot (and they cost a little more).
