Brake Pads
Looking for a slightly more agressive brake pad than the stock OEM pads for autocross use.
Dont need a full on race pad and rotor friendly as it is my daily driver as well.
I feel the car is good on take off and coming out of corners but needs a little more bite going in/entry.
I have the stiffer sway bar bushing just need to install them and also looking for the GS Z07 front sway bar P/N to get that bar any help is appreciated on that front as well.

We've put the newer stoptech sport on a lot of street/AX stuff and it has been nice in terms of silent + low dust. However if you want more serious bite you'll likely want something more aggressive that will generate some noise.
I've given up on having a combination pad, so just swap between track and street pads.

You could try a Hawk HPS. They make dust, but don't make tons of noise. If you want some bite the HP+ is much more aggressive, but makes noise on everything.
HP+ is a bit too mild for serious heat if you were to track your car, but at AX should be ok with the short runs. We run HP+ on our Lemons car with cooling ducts, but it's very lightweight plus slow.

CARBOTECH™ AX6™
The AX6™ is specifically engineered for Autocross applications. A high torque brake compound delivering reliable and consistent performance over a very wide operating temperature range of 50°F to 1000°F + (10°C to 537°C+). The advanced compound matrix provides an excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction at lower temperatures along with very progressive brake modulation and release characteristics. Many drivers use the AX6™ for street driving as well, even though Carbotech™ doesn’t recommend street driving with AX6™ due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. AX6™ is NOT recommended as a race compound in most applications.

The Ferodo DS2500 is a pad that has more bite than the stock pads and will work at cold temps while still being easy on the rotor. They are also good for a light track day but do tend to fall off with temperature much faster than Ferodo's more track-oriented pads. They may be a good fit for autocross because they don't have too much initial bite. They will dust a lot.
