Default Hardbar / AP Brake kit - what brake pads are you guys running?

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on Gary's AP Racing 12.81" kit.

I see a lot of you guys are running this kit but you don't mention what pad combo you are using.

I was looking at getting the Ferado Uno's along with XP10's in the back since I already have a few sets of them for the stock calipers. Any reason this combo won't work?

What do others run?

Im running the Ferodo DS1.11 pads for the front and then have the Ferodo CP2500 for the rear in OEM sizes. I also just used the Hawk HP+ on the rears and they weren't horrible.

I've run several compounds (CLs, Ferodos, Hawks, Wilwoods) -- the brakes are great no matter what you load in them.

I don't like the 50mm radial depth pads because the taper is worse and you can feel that in the pedal.

DTC-70 on first set & Ferrodo DS1.11 last season. I just got another set of Ferrodo DS1.11 for this year.

I have run DTC-60 and 70 on rear.

I am on my second set of Ferodos DS1.11 with XP 10's in the back. Also have not had any problems with the 50 mm tapering, They wear evenly for me. Once they warm up, they are very predictable and have never had any fade
