Basically I don't do any auto-cross racing, I rarely go to the strip, so the pads I need are for daily use. |

OEM or Motorcraft will work well. if you want best stopping no compromises look at something like a Carbotech Bobcat. |

I went to the parts counter and got stockers in the red box for $49. There are double price "OEM" ones available at the parts counter also IIRC in a white box.
The nice thing about the stock pads is that they come with all new stainless rattle clips with the rubber inserts. |

the brown box with a blue and white sticker are the factory pads. |

motorcraft list for $101.80
Ford OEM list for $156.63
that $49 you paid for motorcraft is less than dealer cost.
EDIT: those are for cobras, other mustang may differ. |
