i’m sure somebody makes performance shoes for the rear in your car. if so I would reccomend them so you don’t smoke those pads.

I have hawk HP+ pads in my SHO, they arn’t bad. good cold braking but they dust a good bit but it doesn’t bother me because I have black wheels. they arn’t enough for my car and I do fade them quite a bit (usually when brake boosting durring a race) but all in all they are a good pad. keep in mind that I have a automatic so I don’t get engine braking like a manual does (have to use brakes more) and my car is a HELL of a lot heavier then yours 🙂

I would reccomend the hawk HP+ it has good street maners, and if my SHO were not boosted or was a MTX I would not have probelms with them on the street ever.

edit: when I was at tunning of the bulls a couple of years ago one of the members was racing his SVT focus and it made for a awsome cat and mouse game because we were extremely close in verhicle performance on the roadcourse untill I would overheat my brakes. he was running 30min sessions and never had a problem. save up over winter it would be well worth it.
