I have a 2020 GT350 that has phenominal brakes. I've driven everything from Ferrari's to Porsche's and my GT350's brakes have a super high initial bite that I don't prefer. Any suggestions as to a pad setup that has much less initial bite and will be compatible with the stock rotors?
This car won't ever be tracked, just a street car.
Suggestions from first hand experience please.
Thanks for the help

Consider Power Stop Z26 Extreme Street Performance Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads if not tracking. Less bite and you'll be amazed at the lack of dust.

You prefer Z26 over Z16?

I've not used the Z16. I use Pagid RS19 for track, but couldn't deal with the dust on the street. The Z26 pad has been great, stop great, are dirt cheap and there is so little dust it's of no consequence.

I've noticed between the Power Stop and G-Loc, they are dramatically cheaper than Hawk. We just paying more for Hawk marketing?

When you change your brake pads, try these, All the track attack cars, both gt 350 and GT 500 use them. You get rid or the bolts holding the calipers on and use a stud. Take a look at it.

Just installed those today then cleaned the rims of all the old dust. So far, on my 2019 they are great.

I would guess 20% of the dust compared to stock or any race pad... maybe less.

Thought you guys might want an update to my brake situation. Decided on the Hawk 5.0 pads. Thank you all for your suggestions, I investigated them all. I had my dealer install the new pads today to avoid any warranty issue and the old pads were surprisingly destroyed - see pic below. My car has never been beat on or tracked, or even run hard. All four rotors are perfect. 2800 miles, so mileage isn't an issue. You would think that a track car would have more robust brake pads. As an FYI if you have the stock pads you might want to have a look at them. My rears looked perfect.
By the way, the new Hawks are a dramatic improvement.
